Why is it I am so retrospective this evening? Probably because my entire family is here and I have reason to feel blessed. Kids running through the house, doors slamming, holding children upside down and having them laugh out loud. Lots of food, and laughter.
What could I have done different to make this year better? Absolutely nothing. My wife may tell you I could have eaten more rice, but that's about it. If that's all the direction that I need, I'll eat more rice in 2009 and hopefully still hold my grandchildren up by their feet and dangle them over the sofa and listen to them scream.
And someday they will recall seeing their grandfather from a unique perspective and knowing that love filled their lives while they grew up to be all they could be.
Yes, I'm blessed, albeit a little rice deficient, but nonetheless blessed.
