CATCHING UP

Last night we closed out the year with a trip to the home of one of my oldest and dearest friends from growing up. Over the years, our families and kids have gotten to know each other, and visiting with them is often one of the highlights on our trip home to Austin.

One of the fun aspects of these get-togethers is to spend time with someone who knows me longer than anyone except my parents and siblings but who knows me better than anyone on this planet due to our long, shared history.

On this last day of 2021, I am reminded how grateful I am to have the friends that I do. They make life worthwhile and remind me of how far I have grown and changed over the years. I am truly blessed.
