Best Christmas ever?

Best Christmas ever?

When you’ve had 50+ Christmases, what criteria is fair to use in describing yesterday’s Christmas as the best one ever? And what about selective memory?

What about first Christmas:

  • As a married couple?
  • As a homeowner?
  • As a parent?
  • As a retiree?

What about the first one you can remember where you had most of your Family together?

Commitment isn’t when you feel like it.

It’s all day, every day.

Attitude.

Yours.

Go.

What are you hoping to give this year?

Today, Christmas Eve, it’s common to ask the youth of the world, “What are you hoping to get this year?”

Here’s to 2016 being the year where there is no turning back on:

  • rethinking
  • reprioritizing
  • recommitting

i’m hoping to give away more hope, to more people, more often.

Got a little fancier in 2011.

 

Today is the beginning of the eighth year. Top photo from 2008 and the original website look. Bottom photo about two years later, a little more color. The progress one can make when a little is done every single day.

There was a time when the number of consecutive days blogging was two. Today it’s 2,558.
