New Year's Reveloutions

I wish a healthy, happy, and prosperous New Year to all my friends.

I wish my dog could finally heal and find a food he's not allergic to.

I wish my mother luck in getting a buy-out at work so she can retire.

I wish my sister and my new brother-in-law the best of luck in trying to conceive their first child this year.

I wish that I can finally make progress in making a life for myself.

I wish the best of luck to all the men and women in the armed forces that they may get back to their families and friends safely, and that they may find peace upon their return from the horrors they have endured.

I wish everyone who feels alone can find someone who fills their heart with joy.

I wish the our country would evolve a little more and end its horrific persecution of people who are different.

I wish the President suffers a sudden, stunning moment of clarity where all the pain and suffering he has caused will suddenly become apparent to him.

I wish the people who support the President and his ideologies luck in explaining to their God how fear and hatred ruled their lives.

I wish dogmatic thinking would start to die out.

I wish that the Gods of various religions will speak directly to their disciples and reiterate to them, in no uncertain terms, that killing is wrong.

I wish people would learn to appreciate the beauty and wonder all around us.

I wish everyone on the planet, even those who are not my friends, the same healthy, happy, and prosperous new year.
