Not gonna write much because I think the pictures tell the story pretty well and...it isn't fresh. I am in the process of putting together this year's book...a project I look forward to doing every time Chip goes away for his fall surf trip. People have wondered to me, why I do this or, more likely, how I find time to get to it. That is a really easy question to answer. If you could step inside my head and heart when I get to catch up on the blog, let alone bathe myself in the year's best memories, you would see and feel A LOT of gratitude. It is a wonderful life we get to live and maintaining a practice of capturing, savoring, reminding, and remembering what we get to experience, on our own and in connection, has been one of the things that keeps me where I want to be. So, I don't really care who reads or sees these entries. It is mostly a personal journey. However, Ruby and Owen do LOVE to look at the books, which is a nice motivator too. They probably choose a "blog book" to "read" half of all nights for bedtime stories. Their appreciation fuels mine. This gratitude stuff is contagious!
