I always go into a new year with enthusiasm, excited about starting anew, and believing that there is good ahead. But it seems lately that several people I know aren’t starting off this new year with good stuff. At least not in the moment.

As a fixer, it’s hard for me to sit back and watch these sorts of things without being able to do something about them. I need to take the hurt away, or solve the problem. To make the person smile and make it all better.

But, of course, that’s just not always possible. I picked this song because the title says a lot.
