Reflecting on 2024

Things did not go well at the start of 2024. I was unable to walk without severe pain due to a tear in the meniscus of my right knee. I had meniscus repair surgery at the end of February but didn't fully recover from that surgery until well into November. While slowly healing, I opted out of much of what I had hoped to do in 2024. ​Even though I didn't visit with family and friends as much as I wanted to, I'm grateful for every moment I spent with them in 2024.

For many reasons, I don't expect 2025 to be any easy to get through, but I am determined to be true to my authentic self and make this New Year one of the best years I can possibly make it.
