This Christmas.....
Recently I've had the opportunity to realize just how important friends, family, and this time of year truly is. This tie, which is a gift to an another, took on a whole new purpose to me and although it is not perfect - the time I spent on it was meaningful. I don't mean to share it with you to "showcase" - I only mean to share it with feeling. My friends here on the forum and elsewhere - we have shared some times that have meant so much to me and my thanks to you all for the conversations and our times on the water. It's amazing how this connection can bring meaning to ones life.
So this Christmas - remember whats truly important. Forget about the things that don't matter and focus on the things that do. Life is too short to surround ones self with thoughts that have no purpose.
I'm fine - I just have to reconnect.........................and I have.
