We have mere hours left in this year, which has challenged us in countless ways. We know you likely had similar struggles over these last 12 months. We are also taking a few moments today to purposely recount what went in our favor, what was good even in the face of times of decided difficulty.

As much as we resist, nothing is ever all good or bad. We can always find glimmers of joy in the darkest of times. We can always find specks of imperfection in our most epic experiences. The key is to see it all and take it all in so we can embrace the truth of human life. It encompasses it all, no matter what.

Here’s to the end of the year, how it helped us grow, and hope for a new one. May 2024 give us more soft places to land and more joy to outweigh any sorrow we may encounter.
