“Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards.” -Soren Kierkegaard
As we reflect upon 2008, patterns emerge and the moments meld together to form a collage of life lived. Mistakes and triumphs march side by side and simply become a unified journey. We are here and for that I am glad.
Thank you for being here this year. Whether you dropped in once or twice or frequently, thank you. To those that read silently and to those that commented, and debated, thank you. I am grateful to each and every one of you for support, friendship, and laughter. I am humbled that you have encouraged me in the face of failure and supported me as I grew.
I wish you all a fitting end to this incredible year of living well.
“Year’s end is neither an end nor a beginning, but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us.” – Hal Borland
