Remembering 2024

Last day of 2024. Where did it go? We lost Ginger, Bruno, and Li Li this year and nearly lost my mother, which makes it harder to say it was a good year. I’m here, apparently healthy, and still enjoying my life and nearly every day, so I need to be grateful for what God has given me.

Years move much faster the older you get. Those goals and plans for the year go unattended to rather quickly. Although I can’t say I accomplished a lot, I did get to live another year, enjoy time with friends and family, and time alone when I wanted it. Twenty twenty four may not have been a great year overall, but I do appreciate being able to actually live it.

I always try to be optimistic, so I generally assume things will be better in the future, and the reality is they usually are in the longer run. Time heals losses, but time steals the future as well if you aren’t paying attention. Enjoy today, plan tomorrow, and remember this year for what it was in your life is all I can really say. On to Twenty Twenty Five.
