I think this photograph of two exergetic youngsters and their dog running up a trail by the Gunpowder River (near Falls Rd) sums up my feelings as we say goodbye to 2015 and welcome in 2016. I resolve to meet the new year full-on, moving forward, optimistic, and ready to take in all that it may offer. Bring it on!

I'd like to end with a wish to you: May 2016 bring great joy, health, and happiness to you and yours. May we each find productive ways to understand one another, and may we find peace in everything we do and say.

Happy New Year!
