Update 23 - Happy 2024

Bit of a delay since the last entry. Analytics did tip me off to a friend reading through my site before we met up for coffee, so hi friend. Thanks for flipping through.

I spent the holiday with my partner, my youngest brother, and my parents in North Carolina. On Christmas day my brother, his partner, my partner, and I went to Emerald Beach, pictured above. It was surprisingly pleasant with the tide going out, the wind being merciful, and the temperature in the sixties. I wouldn’t have thought to go out there if my partner hadn’t suggested it. I constantly find new ways to be grateful for her.

I recovered in 2023. I went from treating staples up my abdomen and hardly being able to walk, to keeping up my end of the house and achieving some kind of stability. A balance. I have trouble recognizing progress as I’m making it, but from January of last year to today, I can see a lot of progress in that balance. In a lot of things. It’s like a dry flower bed budding in all directions- almost.

This year I’ll publish.

Whoever you are, I hope you’re doing well.
