Reflection Day

It is the time for our thoughts to be on the simple joy of the holidays and the wide open possibility of the new year, but we find our attention drawn to Newtown, CT, and the incomprehensible incident that occurred at Sandy Hook Elementary School. A day spent in quiet contemplation among family and friends may help restore the fragile balance we all work constantly to maintain.
