Let’s reflect on the year we just shared. The problems we handled and the hopes we clung to. The dreams we breathed new life into together. The burdens that passed from one to another. The universe of friends, family and strangers who held our hands through our tribulations. It’s only when we remember the many ways our lives were touched by others that we realize how lucky we are. Keep all of these things in mind during this new decade. As we begin 2010, I hope everyone will continue the spirit of community that is East Ridge.
