Hi all, After a wonderful retreat in New Hampshire with my daughter I came home to the sad news of continued strife in the Middle East. We don't usually get political on the Hidden-Tech list, but I think at crest of a new year it's OK to get spiritual. We are so lucky to enjoy the bounty of a great country and should stop and enjoy that. We can give thanks that so many of you in the network and in this region backed creation of Hidden-Tech so that we have each other's support in economic good times and bad times. But it's impossible to watch the news and not see how many people are suffering around the world, particularly in the Middle East and Darfur. So, as I send you all prayers for peace, prosperity and health in 2007, I am also suggesting a collective prayer for peace in the Middle East and elsewhere. Hoping to see many of you in the New Year!
