A Year on the River

[mdlbear]

Today marks the anniversary of my first use of the River tag, riffing off the title of the song I'd written ten days before. My original conception of it was somewhat different from what it became, but that's appropriate for a journey along this particular river. I'm not complaining.

It's been a long, strange trip, hasn't it?

This was going to be a sort of wrap-up for the year. Fat chance. It's been too eventful: friendship, love, music... I have no idea how to summarize it. I've discovered things about myself: both weaknesses and abilities I never guessed I had. I've helped people. That may be the strangest thing of all.

Friends, it's been an unbelievable year. Let's keep going.

While I often skip your longer posts, I am glad you let us know how you and Colleen are doing. I'm hoping you both have a much healthier year than the last, and are able to fully enjoy life.

It's been fascinating. You've given me things to think about and ways to think about them that hadn't necessarily crossed my mind before. Rather like the song, which goes in multiple directions at the same time, some expected and some not. Thank you for the journey and for letting the rest of us tag along.

You're very welcome, and thank you for "tagging along".
