Making resolutions is a cleansing ritual of self assessment and repentance that demands personal honesty and, ultimately, reinforces humility. Breaking them is part of the cycle. -Eric Zorn

We send your new year’s wishes back to you!
Leslie, how are you? Lloyd and I each have been married before but have now been married 30 years. He is from Olney, Illinois in southern Illinois (near Vincennes, Indiana).That small town has white squirrels! His family joke around and, until I finally saw one, on one of our visits. I had been convinced they were kidding around! My daughter is 45 & his son is 35. I am writing this evening to let you know that if there was a way to do it–I’d share some of our 5-6 inches of snow! -:) Take care and know I am glad we are in touch once again. Hugs, Sally
