To the editor: Crucial factor that I would need for in 2025 is truthfulness. Columnist Anita Chabria expressed that sentiment in her New Yr’s decision, “I typically don’t care about Republican or Democrat, however I do care about writing with compassion and reality.” (“After a bruising election year in America what will 2025 bring?” column, Dec. 29)
I gathered with my aunt and cousins on Christmas Day; we didn’t point out politics as soon as. As a substitute we reveled in our household ties and traditions of excellent meals and camaraderie. We weren’t naive concerning the politics that might have divided us, however we put them apart in our caring and respect for one another.
There are going to be many causes for division in our nation within the coming years. And I’m fearful that suppression and alteration of the reality can be our fixed companion. We completely can’t compromise with regards to looking for the reality.
If all of us deal with that one goal, possibly we will convey some stability and unity again to our lives.

To the editor: “Blissful New Yr!” — we hear that again and again when the calendar turns over annually.
What does it actually imply? I’ve contemplated that. I hear folks complain that if solely this or that will occur, they might be completely satisfied. It’s as if some unseen exterior occasion can be accountable for them to be completely satisfied.
Nicely, have I received a newsflash: Actual happiness isn’t some imaginary objective to attempt for, however is as an alternative a highway that one travels.
To place it merely, you and also you alone are accountable for your personal happiness. It’s one thing that you could resolve, to be completely satisfied or not. It comes from inside.
It doesn’t matter what workforce prevails or who wins or loses an election, you may resolve to be completely satisfied. You possibly can get up every day and say to your self, “I’m completely satisfied.” The selection is yours.
Blissful New Yr!
