I am not one for bidding everyone a “Happy New Year” or even resolving to do anything differently. But, I do think 2010 was a good year, and hope that 2011 will be even better. Better not just for me but for my friends, family, city, and country.

2010 was a good year for my wife and me, but I know for a lot of people out there, it was difficult, stressful, and for some, downright depressing. Here’s to 2011 being a year of blessings for those who have endured tribulations and tragedies. Here’s to 2011 being a year of economic clarity for our government, local, state, and federal. And finally, here’s to 2011 being a year of people showing love for others.

Let’s do this year right.
