My problems are few and far less severe than the mountains that many people have been forced to climb. I have loved, laughed, traveled, taught, written, and created art in a variety of disciplines. I am in good health and enjoy vigorous activity and exercise. I am honored to be a member of a loving family and to enjoy the company of bright and interesting friends.
Here, with deep gratitude, I list some of the blessings that I received in 2013.
- I toured Belgium and The Netherlands for the first time. The Dutch crowned a new king while I was visiting their country.
- I photographed the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest, a remote wilderness in California that has fascinated me for years.
- I completed an adventurous new photo project: New York - City In Motion
- I wrote my very first short story (The Horse Farm), authored dozens of articles on my blogs, and debuted a new photography website.
- I cast a vote for the first time as a citizen of New York and served an intensely fascinating three hours of jury duty. ;-)
- I left the worst job of my career and found a much more enjoyable position in an excellent company.
- I worked diligently on improving my skills in photography and dance, and I finished several movements from a new set of concertos (debuting 2014).
- I enjoyed a lot of running this year, improved my overall conditioning, and dropped a suit size.
- I watched the New York City Marathon for the first time as a spectator. It was fascinating to watch the front runners streak past at great speed.
- I enjoyed the privilege of teaching enthusiastic students week after week.
- I got hooked on some fascinating televisions shows and enjoyed countless gallons of Starbucks.
Wishing each of you all of the best in 2014!
