New year and the promise of new life

The birth of every baby—a new life, a person entering the world—holds the promise of a healthy, productive life well lived; the promise of breaking old cycles of neglect, lack of love, poverty and violence There is the potential for the growth of love and relationships, of family integrity The start of a new year reflects this promise of change, the possibility of joy, the idea that things might get better
