We asked some of our local friends to make resolutions and wishes for 2018 –-for both themselves and the country. So many express dismay about the powers that be in the White House and ask for better leadership this year.
On the personal front, parents want happiness for their children and they want to enjoy their own lives and be better people.
We thought they would be interesting to you. See below – and send us your resolutions or wishes in the comments section below.
