Itpginninfi the ISeiv Year One of the great things about the beginning of a new year is that we start fresh. It is the turning over of the page. Now we have a blank sheet. And we can put onto it what we want. It's like starting out with a pristine canvas. What colors should be selected from the palette? Or think of a garden plot?shall we plant hyacinths or turnips. thyme, lavender, or an oak tree? It is a time of decision. Horoscopes, fortune tellers's globes, tea leaves, and dream interpretations give only shadowy guidelines ? even for those who believe in such things. The real truth is that we must make these decisions for ourselves. Not everv thing that will happen in the new year is up to fate. Once we have taken the responsibility for admitting and mapping out our goals, we are well on our way to achieving them.
