I find myself thinking of how I can build a deeper community where I live. That is a goal for the coming year that I have set for myself. Hiking and walking groups abound in the Springs, I just need to find one now that I am feeling better with my heart. I think the person to person connectivity it what keeps a person healthy, happy, and functioning at higher levels as one ages. You prove my point in the way you live your life. We were meant to live in and be a part of community.

The fellowship and the documentation of the time and thoughts that continue to slip quickly into the past are the best things about blogging! <br />Warm wishes to you as we head into a brand new year, DJan. <br />And thinking good thoughts for that darn heel! (One of my sisters has had chronic severe heel pain this past year.. She is finally doctoring for it and trying a few things. If she finds a fix I'll be sure to let you know.) <br />amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14413812739575222069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-75530182939660009032014-12-29T05:40:04.303-08:002014-12-29T05:40:04.303-08:00Sounds like you had a pretty good year, and have l...Sounds like you had a pretty good year, and have life well balanced out.

Even seeing how much Ian has grown in six months. Every year is good. Some years are just a lot gooder--ROFL! ;) Happy New Year, my friend!! So glad to know you.

The one most often on the popular list is the one on How Do You Want to be Remembered. Almost every day it is on the most read list.<br />Your blog is always thought provoking and interesting. The years flash past so fast, I have to go back to my calendar for notes when I want to remember what happened this year.

At least it does for me.<br />I still think you ought to see a podiatrist for that heel.

Since meetin...Hi DJan, I enjoyed reading this post. Since meeting you in the blogosphere I have been following you on Eye on the Edge, which I’ve found to be a real pleasure, enjoying your Sunday morning contemplations, often on parts of life that I find fascinating. I do know that you have another blog and don’t really have a good excuse for not following you there, as well, but I suppose it boils down to having just a certain amount of time for this hobby and I so enjoy your weekly blog and I want to give it quality time on this end … thinking it over … and trying to give you a response worthy of the effort you put into your writing. I hope you understand. I wonder if you have experienced this in blogging … as you get into the hobby and more people find your blog, and follow it, and leave comments … I feel obligated to acknowledge their comments and return the favor. I don’t really know what to call it, but it is a sort of imperceptible change that occurs, but very slowly you will notice you are spending more of your time with the blog. I’m not saying it’s a negative thing, but just something to be aware of. So, to make a long story longer, I just want to say thanks for giving me the review of your year via a review of your other blog. I agree 100% with you about a blog becoming a journal. I want mine to be that and need to be mindful of including more current events so I can look back later and see more than just what is in my collection of old paper items. It does sound like you had a good year, and, with a couple of health issues, which we all seem to encounter, you had a lot of good times. So, congratulations on another good year. Wishing you the same in 2015. Thank you DJan, as always, for your comments on my blog.

Regular blogging does that. We share more virtually than we often do with flesh and blood friends. <br />I haven't gone back to review my year, although Facebook did it for me, and with a bit of editing, it wasn't a bad review in Facebook photos. I did remove the one of me in the hospital, oxygen still plugged into my nose, right after my back surgery! And of course I write an annual Christmas letter, so I guess I have reviewed the year. It was good one!<br />Thanks for sharing Sunday morning with me. Will it snow tonight?<br />Linda Reederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665601809156707572noreply@blogger.com
