One reason I enjoy walking around New York City is that I love looking up at old and new buildings, mixed and intermingled. Solid, stately stone buildings smack up against gleaming glass towers. The magic is in the variety and the interplay between the old and new.
I feel the same way about traditions—families with a vital mix of old and new traditions. Old traditions alongside ones that have evolved to meet present needs—alive and modern. Continuity and tradition alongside change and novelty—all part of a beautiful life, full of nostalgia as well as hope.
