Navigating in a fog

The thick morning fog seems appropriate in alignment of the news about the killings at Sandy Hook, and reflects how we might all take extra precautions while navigating under such conditions. Today I turned on all my bike lights and rode more slowly than usual, arriving a few minutes later than normal. I stopped at least twice to dry off my glasses from the condensation clouding my vision. I hopped onto the sidewalk to ride with more protection from drivers who may also have had trouble seeing through the muck. Those extra minutes gave me more time to contemplate my contribution this week. What small, positive difference might I make? How can I improve my world for others' benefit? What might I do today to make someone else's day a bit better? What is my contribution? How can I see through fog and still be safe, positive, and influential? Such questions may aid all of us this week as we navigate through the mixed, murky fog of our feelings.
