My beloved wife says “Since it is the week before New Year’s Day I thought we could do some reflecting on the past year.”<\/p>\n
1. What one unexpected joy did you discover?<\/span> I really do like raw oysters. I had had one years ago. It was mostly eaten just so I could say that I had tried one. It basically went down whole. And though I had had other opportunities to try one, I didn’t want to shell (haha!) out $3 to see if I really liked them. At a gig a few months ago, they served oysters on the free raw bar. So I tried one. I took my time, and chewed it thoroughly. It was good. I think, though, that I would much prefer them under better conditions. This one wasn’t very cold, and didn’t have any of its “liquor,” so it was a little dry. Still, it was good.<\/p>\n 2. What\u00a0 two things would you have done differently? Why? Hmm.<\/span> I think I would’ve stayed on vacation in New Hampshire longer; it seems like we were really rushed. And, I would’ve called my plow people to let them know I would be out late on blizzard night!<\/span> 3.\u00a0 What were the three most significant events? My daughter started home school. My wife had surgery (minor). I had the flu, and was out sick for almost a week. (I haven’t been that sick in a long, long time.) <\/span> 4. What four things did you do that were the most fun? Vacation. Christmas. The staff picnic with the kids. All the times the kids and I played “Jump on the Daddy.”<\/span> 5. What five things are you most grateful for? Susan, Julia, Matt, Nat, and inumerable blessings God gives me.<\/span> My beloved wife says “Since it is the week before New Year’s Day I thought we could do some reflecting on the past year.” 1.
