Remembrances Of All Who Mattered

As news organizations assemble lists of those who died in 2010, let us remember also all the people who left us who led lives outside the news diaspora. There were many wonderful people who left us in the last year who worked hard, filled important roles, raised families (or supported themselves admirably and elegantly despite difficulties), and struggled and scrimped to put food on their tables, but who mattered nonetheless. Some may have considered their lives unremarkable, but there was always someone who was touched by multitudes of quiet heroes who didn't dominate the political, entertainment or business headlines. Let us all consider the magnificent contributions that the quiet unsung made among us, and give them our thanks and gratitude.

Happy New Year to all. May this year bring joy, prosperity, peace, and above all, sanity.
