Today is a meaningful day, a day to make choices about life and its value.

Everyone should, of course, mark it in their own way.

I will  celebrate this day by turning off my computer, cell phone, TV and Ipad.

I will celebrate it by looking for the light and beauty of the world, and by committing myself

to the creative spark. To love, forgiveness and compassion.

Life is, every day a gift and a choice, and I will take a minute to remember those who are gone, and take a day to choose and celebrate life and its promise, hope and sacred opportunities.

And by reflection and silence. Talk to you Monday.
