As the season closes we settle with family, with friends. Together, we rejoice in the company and comfort of those we hold dear. A time for and reflection and resolution: We share our stories. Reminiscences bring tears, often of laughter. Hands meet. Eyes soften.

There is much to be thankful for. Not the least that every New Year brings with it the promise of 365 brand new beginnings.
