Upon reflection of this past year, it was a good one. We had wonderful parties and bonfires during the summer months.

fun in the hot tub
I did well at shows, but didn't attend as many this year. The ones I did were fun because I always love meeting new and interesting people at craft shows. If my knees and hips hold out, I'm looking frward to this year doing shows once again.
I enjoyed my beautiful and loving Beagle, Wilbur, who's a joy to my life, even if he's stubborn as heck when he has a scent and forgets why he's out for a walk.

I'm not a complicated person. I may not know the details of the world economy or politics, I leave that up to hopefully just leaders. I isolate myself, knowing I can't change the course of the universe. I just want to enjoy my life, embrace my family and friends and be as much a friend of the planet as I can. I don't have lofty goals such as losing weight this year, although I do want to be healthier. I want to enjoy the fruits of my labor, my family, my microcosm. It's all I can do. If I can live by example, I hope to instill upon those around me my vision of a good life, an honest life. I value my friends, my family, and the memories of those who have passed before me.
Happy Good Year and live life well.
