As we think, so we are, and since our thoughts are such a vital part of us, we have chosen REFLECTIONS as the theme of our book this year. Thoughts precede every action: they follow each memorable occasion: happy and warm, sad and serious, carefree and lighthearted - they fill every moment of our lives. We learn to appreciate through reflections. Looking on the loveliness of the world, seeing its beauty, and sharing in its sorrow, we realize some of the wonder of both through the wonderful power of our minds. Our thoughts give light to two kinds of understanding - the understanding through which we comprehend facts and ideas, and the selfless kind of understanding through which we purchase the priceless treasure of a friend.
