Here’s to Finland and Pre-Kindergarten and marathon training and trying not to get sick again and freestyle rapping and Portugal-and-Spain and kaya toast with coffee and ducking branches while riding in a truck bed and being the Wario to my kids’ Mario Bros. and dipping in the Essequibo River and Juniper’s lyrics and so many more things.
Amidst all the highlights, there were also a lot of stretches that tested my endurance. The back-end of the year especially seemed to demand everything out of me. But sometimes all you can do is step back and say, that was a tough one, but I’m proud of how I showed up.
Here’s hoping there’s a few things you can say that about at the end of this year.
