This has been a wonderful year.
I’ve had the joy of meeting new friends around the world. Friends like Daniel and Paul, Jay and Charlie. Friends who have helped me see myself and the world from a different perspective.
I’ve had the joy of traveling through Southeast Asia, seeing some of the most beautiful jungle and ocean I’ve ever encountered.
I’ve had the joy of exposing my son to the Orient, letting him experience cultures that are radically different than the ones he’s known so far.
I’ve had the joy of seeing my brother marry the woman of his dreams, bringing tears to his childrens’ and parents’ eyes.
And, most of all, I have had the joy of spending another wonderful year growing closer to my wife.
Yes, it’s been a great year. What are you thankful for?
Have a Merry Christmas (or whatever holiday you are celebrating now) and a Happy New Year!
(As a reminder, this is the last issue this year. Have a great time with family and friends, and enjoy the holidays!)

Quote for the week
At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us. – Albert Schweitzer
