2013 Holiday Blessings
There are years that ask the questions,
and years that answer. – Zora Neale
Hurston
I have often
reflected in my annual holiday letter that the year has been the usual mix of
blessings and curses. But for me, 2013
has been nothing short of miraculous blessings.
The impossible just takes a little time!
Some of the
blessings came out of the blue – grace many people would call it – and some
were the result of very hard work on my part.
But even when I knew I was working hard and participating, there still
seemed to be an element of grace in the result.
For instance, I scoured Portland for months seeking the right house, and
just when I thought I would never find one for the price I wanted to pay, a
house more perfect than I thought existed appeared. And I am very happy in it today.
