Here's what Anthony Rose has written for St. George's January Magazine...

Dear friends,

 One of the things about the coming of a new year is how your mind is concentrated, at least for a while, on the year past and the year to come. Most people I talk to say how quickly time seems to go. It 's certainly true that a year can seem like nothing, especially when you look at the news reviews and realise how much you've forgotten that actually happened over the last year. Disasters, celebrations, deaths and births are all easily forgotten unless they were very personal to us. The trouble is, of course, we're exposed to so much news cover that we can easily let most of it go over our heads. And at New Year we hope that whatever was bad will simply pass into history and the next year will bring good things.

 There's nothing wrong with having hope, of course. Indeed, hope is a vital part of being human. Without hope we only have despair and meaninglessness. People will be hoping for all kinds of things this year: good things to happen in their family, decent prospects in the face of recession, excitement in relationships perhaps, holidays to look forward to. One thing is sure about living in this world though, and that's that you can't be sure about anything!
