Reflections for a Happy New Year: From the Kids at Boys Town

The New Year is an opportunity for each of us to learn from the past and resolve to do better in the future. According to Boys Town Executive Director Val Peter, each New Year presents us with a ‘new leaf in the Book of Life, a new chance for hope’ In this book, the boys and girls of Boys Town consider the lessons of the past year, ponder why New Year’s resolutions are important and share with readers their goals for the coming year. In addition, Peter describes how your family can profit from reviewing together the past year and explains why January is the month of hope. As you and your family prepare for the New Year, this book can be the inspiration you need to honestly assess the past and decide what changes you need to renew your family life.
