I’m thinking about the tradition of making New Year’s resolutions — of boldly declaring that this year, everything will change. I will meditate daily! I will not let my PMS run the family! I will eat kale in the amounts recommended by Resee Whitherspoon! The reality however, is that most of my New Year’s resolutions

Here we go again! Christmas is here, with its demands and promises. Do you also feel like you’re clinging desperately to a runaway train?
