The cusp as the new year ends and another begins is usually a time for reflection. This is one of those refletions.
I consider myself to be one of the luckiest people on the planet. Mostly it's people. In my life now are many wonderful people that make my life wonderful. They are nearby and seen every single day. They are far away and not visited nearly often enough. They have never been met in person but, I very much like to.
The things they do are big and they are small but all help make my life great. What makes the things they do all the more marvelous is that they seem to be done unconsciously just because of who the people are.
I want to thank you all. To avoid embarrassment, or any semblance of favoritism, I won't make a list. It would also take a long time.
That's how lucky I am.
I feel as though George Bailey, on Christmas morning, would say "Dang. You've got a lot of nice people in your life, son!"
Thanks, everyone.
I hope I've done enough to earn your friendships.
