Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne?
These lyrics, taken from a Scottish poem, are often sung at the stroke of midnight at the start of a new year. The phrase “for auld lang syne” can be translated as “for the sake of old times.” The beginning of a new year is a time of reflection on the past year. It is also an opportunity to start anew, set (or reset) goals and make resolutions.
“What the New Year brings to you will depend a great deal on what you bring to the New Year.” – Vern McLellan
