So, 2016 is nearly over and what a year it has been. While I have made a habit of being grateful every day, I have not put that gratitude to writing. In fact, it has been over five months since I have.
My last post was written in late July after having clear scans. In the fall, my oncologist moved me to six months between check-ups. Woot! In late January, I will mark three and a half years of being cancer-free.
I am practicing yoga nearly daily. It hurts when I have to miss a day in class. I do mini-practices at home but it's not the same - intensity, energy, anything.
Three of four of the sons came home for Christmas. The one who couldn't, visited for a week in October. My oldest is ending his marriage. My youngest seems to be on his way. Transitions are interesting.
Hanukkah started on Christmas Eve this year. Since we celebrate both, we needed to figure out how to do that this year. When they overlap, it's hard but when the first night falls on Christmas Eve, well, negotiations happened.
I turned 60 this year. My baby sis turned 50, my eldest son, 40, my second son 30, my only niece 20. I also found out that an Irish cousin turned 70. Big year for our extended family.
I am grateful for it all.
