As the new year starts, it’s common to look back at the year that was. Here at the Neepawa Banner & Press and Rivers Banner, we recently compiled a list of the year’s most popular stories, according to page views on our news site, www.mywestman.ca. We’ve been doing this for a few years and while it’s interesting to readers, it also helps us better understand the type of stories that people want to read.

The day light hours are actually getting a tiny bit longer, albeit by only two or three minutes a day. Light is a good thing. Light has long been associated with truth and knowledge. People will say, let’s shed a bit of light on a certain topic or subject. It’s a great concept as much better decisions are made in the light of truth rather than the darkness of blind assumptions.In good old rural Manitoba, there has been a lot of decisions made in the darkness of assumptions.
And a Happy New Year...

It is my custom to pause at years’ end and reflect. I do a great deal of reflecting, finding that as I mature I have more time to think and more to think about. A gentle way of admitting I am getting old! It has been a wonderful year. I no longer set as many goals and therefore don’t disappoint myself, or others, but quietly move through the days, appreciating all that I am and all that I have. Being present.

As 2017 comes to a close, many of us are now looking towards 2018. Regardless of whether the last 12 months have been good, bad or somewhere in the middle, most of us have the goal of making the new year better than the last.

Year end is always a good time for reflection. Times and conditions change so people have to continually change as well. I am not talking about changing the foundations of our world as they were put in place by God. Nor am I suggesting that people rip up their faith and belief systems. Those are always due for evaluation and analysis but faith in God should be a somewhat immovable thing.
