My OperaA New Year

I love New Year's Eve. I love the chance to start again, to ponder the past year--its successes and even its failures. It's like a "do over."
"So last year wasn't so great? Then we can start again."
"Actually, last year was pretty awesome! Then maybe we can keep good times going!"
Many folks don't care for New Year's Eve, or New Year's Day. Maybe that's the difference between a pessimist and an optimist. I'm told that a pessimist expects the worst and sometimes is pleasantly surprised when things actually go well. And an optimist is always disappointed because things never turn out the way an optimist hopes.
I still prefer optimism. But maybe you don't, and that's okay. Here's a song for you, one that I've always liked.
Happy New Year to all of you! "We'll be just fine."
