The combination of feedback, self reflection and articulation is making me smarter...much smarter. In fact, right now, I'm learning at a pace that is far quicker than at any other time in my life and that makes me very happy. And I owe it all to you and this blog. Thanks. I'm looking forward to a wonderful 2009 and I'll see you again on the 5th of January as I'll be vacationing in Donner with the family until then. I'll leave you with a song, a picture and a memory.
First, the song. It's called Post-War by M. Ward. I love the laziness of the melody and the lyrics mean something to me. Mostly, it's just a beautiful song from one of my favorites artists.
Now, the picture. It's titled Winter Solstice, it's by Chrissl12 and it's beautiful.

Incredibly, she was right. In that moment, she taught me something about my fundamental view of everything important to me. Those observations are some of the nicest things we can do for each other.
