There’s a common sensibility that January, being the beginning of a new year, is a time for change. Certainly we have the culture of New Year’s Resolutions, but I suspect that tradition is the result of a feeling - a chance at new beginnings, a hope that this time I will do better. It’s an opportunity to reflect on both successes and mistakes, aligned with the spinning rock we live on and all the cycles that come with that. The attempt to grow is to me a necessary part of being human, and if you find that statement a bit of a stretch then it is at least a very admirable goal.
