Every New Year’s Eve and Day bring to mind the “R” word.

The R-Word. No, Not Resolutions…Resiliency. 

No, not “resolution.” That R-word is a hopeful, yet often ill-fated, attempt to lose weight and increase exercise that drives up gym and weight loss clinic memberships and revenues, only to often see a drop off in attendance one to two months later.

The “R” word that comes to my mind is “resilience.” For me, each New Year’s period is a reminder of the resilience we have as people, and as a society.
