With Heart and Mind

IN A PROGRAM WHICH WE ARE ENJOINED to practice "Just For Today," the subjects of New Year's resolutions is at best a risky one. "Forget the past," we say, "never mind the future, tomorrow might never come." But I make no apologies for succumbing to that delightful pastime of resolving to be a better man in 1957 than I was in 1956, because there is lots of room for improvement. Even if I forget the resolutions before the day is over, the making of them, which involves self-inventory, is good for me. I can never resolve to do something better without in the same breath admitting that what I have been doing has not been good enough; I can never resolve to do something new, without admitting it was something I should have been doing before.
