Did you know that the Babylonians made New Year’s resolutions over 4,000 years ago? This is an ancient tradition that seems to be mostly a joke to modern people. I think that’s sad, because this is such a wonderful time to make important promises and really strive to keep them.
The Babylonians made their New Year’s resolutions in March as they planted their crops. The ancient Romans also made resolutions, promising to do good acts to the gods in the coming year.
What will you promise to the gods and yourself this year? Will you make this a religious act that you really try to keep, or is it strictly secular for you?
