Merry Christmas!

What a great year!

2022, an all around incredible year.

Life is really a great thing, its like... grass? I'm looking out my window as I write this, and in Puyallup we have some fresh snow on the ground. My front yard took a good hit of snow. Although there's a giant soggy pile of leaves in my front yard, beautiful snow, new flowerbeds from the spring, a great driveway, and even some patches of missing grass that still haven't grown back since our hot and dry summer, the grass is still there, and grass is great. Man, life is so great! The grass isn't always glowing, growing, and snowing, but the sweetness of life does not come without change.

Through highs, lows, new friends and co-workers, old friends, new family, family I have known forever, new hobbies and the classics. We are here another day and I'm glad that you are one of the people I get to share this precious life with!

My new years resolution for this year was to pursue peace -- not an easy virtue for me to pursue. Peace is not my default. I like energy, learning, spontaneity, taking chances, and not slowing down. I pursued peace, and was graced with much of it.

Last year I wrote about a saying that my grandpa firmly believed  in

"When you come to a fork in the road and you are unsure which way to go, 

if you choose to go left, God will be with you, 

and if you choose to go right, God will be with you"

In the light, in the dark, to the left, and to the right, God is with you every step of the way.

I love every one of you, no matter what or if you call me, thank you for joining me in change and peace!
