Thank you for posting these joyful photos, and sharing your feelings and thoughts even when you are exhausted. It's a great gift to know what your life is like and hear your "voice" in everything you write. I am glad to still feel close even though I have not seen you in years. You were very kind and supportive to me in Madison and helped restore my confidence by telling me I was resilient. However, the joy, humor and empathy in your post have shown what me what true resilience looks like. I hope you will continue to find joy and meaning each day in 2019 and well beyond.
Sending you a big hug from Seattle, and warm wishes to you, Marcia, your family and devoted friends for a new year full of love and kindness,
Aimée

These lovely photos boosted my energy, made me smile, and filled my heart with joy. What a wonderful way to end the first day of the new year.
Many thanks for sharing.
Happy new year Erik, Marcia, and the rest of the family.

Rik, Marcia, Jenny, & Becky,
The nearness of three generations of close family is surely a wonderful tonic. And silly photos don't hurt. May that and your sober optimism carry you forward.
Much love,
Wally
