A New Year


Matthew with Tractor


Things have been very very very busy here on the hill.   The winter holidays are over for the year.  It's snowy today.  Not a storm per se just a front bringing with it some extra snow.  Geo is working and the pups are sleeping near the woodstove.  Ursa is at my feet.  Life is good.

My nephew (see pic above) loves trucks and all sorts of heavy machinery.  For Christmas this year Geo and I wanted to get him a tractor.  I'm not exactly sure what this truck is called.  Matthew would know!  When you give something to someone and they really like it it makes you happy for a long long time.

Even though I wasn't there to see him open his present, he told me very excitedly about it on the phone.   We want to make the people in our lives happy this gets complex as people get older.  When you are young it's simpler.  As you get older it gets more difficult unless you become happy from simple things.

Giving to others makes me very happy.  This new year is a refocus on the simple.
