For a good start to the year - 

I like to share with you a post,
written and published already a week ago by D. A. Wolf

a contemplative post which is never out of date:

"The World is a challenging place..."

 ".....To say that we need to care for our planet and care for each other 

seems trite, obvious, absurdly simplistic. 

Yet we seem to need constant reminding to look beyond immediate needs 

and preoccupations to a broader, longer-term universe of concerns… 

and to comport ourselves accordingly......"

".....To recognize that there are people who are troubled and who need us, 

to recognize that no person “gets there” alone — wherever “there” is — 

and then to act on that knowledge, is, to my mind, 

a reminder of the best of who we are as human beings......"

"....The world is a challenging place, 

and many of us believe we have a steady stream of battles to fight 

if we wish to protect the planet, much less our fundamental humanity. 

We cannot abandon the basics. 

We must savor our moments of joy, our sources of joy, 

our understanding that serving others — caring for each other, 

creating and sustaining community, 

reaching out to help any way we reasonably can — is a year-round undertaking, 

and equally, a year-round gift in the giving itself."
