2023 and Me

This year, I kept track of things big and small. I wanted to remember the momentous occasions and the everyday moments that made my heart smile:

January – My mom turned 90 and she’s as healthy and active as I am. I can only hope! Survived a near-death experience driving to Breckenridge to snowshoe with my friend, Michelle.

February – CHIEFS won the Super Bowl!! Flew to KC to brainstorm with Robin about co-hosting a podcast. Finally got Covid (in that exact order). Thanks for the memories, KC.

March – Began co-hosting The Problem With Perfect podcast. Started attending Nar-Anon meetings. Made it through another SAD season.

April – This quote was brought to mind, “You may be done with your past, but your past isn’t done with you.” IYKYK

May – Bought a new car. Traveled to San Diego for some much-needed beach time (and to visit Matthew). Created and facilitated a children’s meditation program for the Denver Botanic Garden. Completed 75 Hard (and it was).

June – Traveled to Minnesota to visit my goddaughter, Alex, and to tour Mayo Clinic (because if you work in healthcare, you tour world-renowned medical facilities for fun). Also, flew to Oregon with my grandson, Rhys, on his 16^th birthday and my 71st.

July – Picked up my new car and drove to Columbia to celebrate my friend, Jahne. Met with some of my fave COMO friends. Decided to go on a mission trip to India.

August – Rode with a 16yo driver. Need I say more?!

September – Enjoyed a drive-by from Robin. Had the battery in my pacemaker replaced; I should be good for another 50,000 miles. Interviewed my grandson, Colin, for the podcast.

October – Flew to Phoenix to support Matthew’s first Half Iron Man. His graciousness in the face of adversity and disappointment was inspiring. Started getting a multitude of vaccinations for India.

November – Missed Thanksgiving. Traveled 8500 miles to India. Toured the Taj Mahal. Got Covid, again. Made new friends and a lifetime of memories.

December – Celebrated Christmas with my family and thanked God (and my lucky stars) for another year of good health and much happiness.

🥂Happy New Year!🥂
