As 2022 wraps up its final performances, I’m reflecting on the past, imagining the future, and doing my level best to see and appreciate what is right before me.
Nothing can be added to something so beautiful.... Made us all feel fuzzy and warm.. If I'm playing high and low this morning then reading your beautiful Christmas message has left me with the highest of highs..
What a tale! Thanks for reaching back to find this one for us. Timeless tidings, true, but don't our children lives race past us? Telling these stories slows down time.
By the way, you should write other people's end-of-year letters, or offer consultation.
"Telling these stories slows down time." That's so true, though I had not thought of it that way. My end-of-year letters have given way to much shorter and less creative efforts. The red pen might need a lube job before I could take it back out on the road. Ha! Happy Yule to you all!
What a fantastic letter, Elizabeth. I’m so glad you pointed me here! Loved reading this. I’m charmed by so many things, including the presence of the friendship bread starter. I love that your family had a high-low tradition. That’s beautiful. So many quotable moments here, but this sets the stage: wonderfully: “the chaotic charm of the daily ride.”
Yes. The sun keeps rising, starting a new day. Thanks for your stories. Happy holidays to you and yours. Stay well and keep writing!
And the picture is wonderful!
Thanks, Susanne! New days and new beginnings. Thank goodness for the light.
Best holiday letter ever.
And a tradition (aka: obligation) I have, for now, let go. Nice to have this one, and others, to revisit. Thank you, Roe. Merry, happy, joy!

What a delightful message, Barry. Goodness, thank you.
Paul & me wish you and Jim a very happy Christmas and new year!🎄❤️
Likewise from us here. Thank you, Susan.
Lovely real-life stories.Thanks!
Tom and Linda
Real life has a way of being more than a little messy, right? Thank you, Tom.
Every. Single. Day.
Yes!
