Happy New Year! I’ve named this year Audacious. I’ve acquired a giant 4Runner while my friends are buying Teslas, and I’m going to learn to drive it in the backcountry. I’m going to try backpacking in a tent (last year was huts). I haven’t really planned a lot, because I want to be available when stuff shows up. Cheers! 🍺 🧀 🥨 Here’s to 58! I share your gift of fashion, by the way.

This is so hopeful and hard-earned:) All the mes that have been and the one now are a package deal. I used to think I’d go back and change some things and even that has lost its allure. Such a gift of aging-the many roads traveled have given me an affinity for who I am now and I like me. I’m pretty excited to see what’s next too.

Will be encouraging you along on that journey to 60!

I've been thinking about a quote that if I were to erase the bad parts of my life then I would erase who I am. And then, this. Whoah. Once again, your words ground me. Thank you, Lisbeth. 🩵 and the bit about Yoga had me grinning. Savasana's form and cheering on downdog. Haha. 2023 has been about really just getting by alive each day. With your words as validation, I know it hasn't been a lost cause. It has purpose. Happy New Year, Lisbeth.

I like to make fun of yoga but I have much respect for it! I hope to carve some time for it this year. They have classes at my new gym. 😀

Happy New Year, An! May we all find our way in this coming year.
