Giving Thanks

Traveling for the holidays tends to leave one frazzled and frayed. We're happy to be home and snug and relaxing, but I'm very happy we got a chance to celebrate the holidays back east. It was wonderful to see the family and friends we were able to visit. And of course we missed many people we would have loved to spend time with. If you're on that list, you know that the solution is to come to California! We love company and there is a standing invitation so don't be shy.

This year we're not making a long list of resolutions but trying to live up to the same simple goals:

• To remember to give thanks for all we have everyday.
• To take time to breathe and enjoy the lessons life dishes out daily.
• To tell the truth beautifully.

Oh and to continue to explore what California has to offer. We'll keep you posted here of course.

Wishing everyone an adventurous and healthy New Year!

Yesterday, everybody smoked his last cigar, took his last
drink and swore his last oath.
Today, we are a pious and exemplary community.
Thirty days from now, we shall have cast our reformation to the winds and gone to cutting our ancient
shortcomings considerably shorter than ever.

~Mark Twain
