Happy New Year!!!!!!

We have just enjoyed another season of rejoicing and commemorating the birth of the Savior and, for most of us, the opportunity of renewing family ties.  Almost all agree that December is a happy month, when we sing of "Peace on earth and good will toward men,'"but too many people leave this festive season and move into January with feelings of depression or discouragement.  To some, January is foreboding: the beginning of the winter doldrums. . . .

I think January ought to be a happy month of the year.  Of all people on the face of the earth, Latter-day Saints, with the perspective given them by the gospel, ought to be happy and optimistic. . . . January always brings a renewed hope for personal and family progress in the coming year.  It is the time of the year when people tend to set goals and make commitments resolutions, if you will, New Year's resolutions.
