A Pat On The Back

2015 has been a year of joy and despair, love and sadness. Like every year, many of us lost or gained a loved one, a job, a home. We grew a year older and a year wiser and put a year's worth more miles on our bodies. As we look forward to 2016 and its fresh unwritten pages, let's take a moment to congratulate ourselves for all of the growth and learning we accomplished in the last year and pat ourselves on the back for making it through whatever challenges we faced. The physical plane is a classroom. It is vital and amazing and taxing. We deserve to celebrate another year on the earth.
