As 2008 Approaches
We just got a really sweet and thoughtful note from our friend Anita Howard. I'd like to share with you her three concluding paragraphs:
It seems we often foresee and prepare for challenges and disappointments, but I am always surprised by unexpected gifts of friendship, beauty, enriching experiences and wisdom. We are blessed with prosperity and health (for the most part) and the love of our many and diverse friends and relatives. We value each and every one and intend for the following years to bring us together more often.
We work and wish for peace and a nation that challenges us to be better human beings; to take care of our neighbors, our poor and elderly and our planet; to affirm our commonalities and work through our differences with compassion and respect.
Wishing you all... the best in the coming year.
Amen!
