It’s a time when we all pause; some to look back -and some to look forward. Most likely, we all do some of each. It was the famous baseball pitcher, Satchel. Paige, who said “Don’t. look back — somebody may be catching up!” Looking back is a double edged sword. The good things that happened to us glow like pure gold and'the bad things that happened to us may still burn like fire. The human mind and time are patcally obliterated from the mind — or at least, most of the fire is rortinguished, I guess that is the reason peo- ple refer to “the good old days.” The bad has been worn away by the passage of time. People really do have to look back and review the mistakes that they made — lest they make them again in the future. Guess what? Many people look back, review the mistakes — then go right on and make the same mistakes again! We are mostly born opti- mists — thank God! We want to look forward to good things and good times. Looking ahead helps people get through the bad times. out for the cynic who says that the light at the end of the tunnel is the light on the engine of the fast approach- ing train!

And some people, due to their circumstances, live their life “one day at a time.” So — what about New Year’s resolutions? People will resolve to do or not to do almost anything in the New Year. Some resolutions sound wild enough to have been for- mulated while the bubbly was flowing too freely on New Year’s Eve! An Adossians saying comes to mind ~ “He smelled of strong drink and ith was not in I am told, by people who keep track of this type of thing, that the highest propor- tion of New Year's resolu- check of the waist line, a weight loss resolution sounds like a good idea for your faithful reporter. So as the days and the hours run down to zero in 1993, it is only right that I express some New Year's wishes. May you look back with fond memories with lit- tle room for remorse or hate. May your tragedies quickly fade in scope..May you look forward to better times, laced with love and friendship. May there be are be cet surprises on your ho: Thank-you for joe is weekly Pn.
