New-year resolutions, experience informs, are an exercise in frustration that yield nothing more than a guilt complex over promises made and broken. So, as Obama says, it's time for change. Look forward, not backward.
This is the year of hopes, not promises or resolutions, which are conscience tuggers; potential cesspools of guilt. Hopes are easier. They don't demand a resume. Anyone can hope; anything can be hoped for -- the sky's the limit.
And if hopes don't come true, there's no guilt, because as everyone knows, hopes don't usually come true.

I've achieved most of my resolutions for the past four years.
