A year of gifts:
- Noah
- Our home
- Our continued relationships with family of the heart, family, and friends
- Increasingly better health
- The vacation we took in March last year; without that, I think everything would have been harder
Really, despite the occasional valleys, this has been a year of feeling that unseen hand that pushes life at us and offers so much. I feel more grateful than introspective, really.
But some resolutions:
- to stay as present as possible, both just for us, but also to remain tuned into our son’s needs and joys and days, hours, minutes, and seconds
- once again, to finish writing things; we have done much better at this but still have that last hurdle for this book
- to continue to eliminate the drama that I create or can avoid, including staying picky about my friends. This year I let some things go and it was a good move, and staying on that path is a good one
- to be more effusive in love and praise and correspondence and phone calls
Yes.

Wisdom is achingly earned, grindingly slow, wildly liberating.
