Not So Happy New Year

12/31/2014

Dear Mongoose,
I've been pretty down lately. I'm on a short-term layoff at work and we just had to put my mother in the nursing home. Our government is corrupt, the economy is bad, and the media and Hollywood say it's ok to live against the Bible. Heck, we even lost our long-time family dog this year. Everybody keeps saying "Happy New Year," but what's so happy about it? 

Dear Better Off Dead,

I read a recent statistic that claimed one in ten Americans are on some type of antidepressant. After reading your question I'm surprised the stats aren't higher. "May old acquaintance be forgotten"--not really how the song goes or what 'auld acquaintance' really means but let's pretend it does. New year, new opportunity, you can't change the past but you can change your outlook.  Make yourself a New Year's revolution, put that old Beatles album on, don't you know it's gonna be...alright, think globally and act locally.  Dang, I sound like a hippy...but the bottom line? You really CAN change the world, one Fella did a couple thousand years ago...



Happy New Year,
Mongoose
