Ending a great year

This old picture of the first walk after checking into the Point at Poipu is one of my favorites, as we go onto the resort property next door. Just catching Laura getting balanced on one foot, reading for a vacation week ahead, floods me with joy.

Hoping to spend time thanking God and thinking about what lies ahead in 2015. Our Ruby Anniversary in a few weeks, 40 years, and mostly good ones, with a few periods of sadness, loss and hurt from our circumstances. We are no different than everyone in that reality, and compared to most of the world, we have had far more blessing than pain, and the pain served its good purpose.

I want to continue growing in understanding, enjoying the health and flexibility I have, cherished the joys and challenges ahead.
