2017
We are writing our Christmas letter that we have been sending out for some twenty years or more. It is fun to go back and remember the things we did this year. It has certainly been a year filled with hard work. The seven months we worked on our house was long and sometimes exhausting. It also has its rewards. Not only did we improve our home, it will be worth a lot more. It has also been wonderful to examine the projects like tiling the floors which took a couple of weeks. When I look at the beautiful floors I feel a connection to them. It would have been great to have had the money to pay some professionals to do the work, but there will be a lasting satisfaction in knowing we did this personally.
We have made a lot of choices in our thirty five years together to do things ourselves. It feels good to have partnered with Lou Ann and created what we have. We have done a lot, lost a lot and have gained from having done both. Life for us has been this topsy-turvy adventure and somehow it has made us closer. We know that no matter what happens, we have each other’s love and support and we will keep on going and do the best we can. Our email has been positive place dot com for some twenty five years. It was a gift to us from Lana and Tania Bloch when we did Spirit Church. This email says who we are. We are so fortunate to mostly see the bright side of life and have met many wonderful positive people along the way.
So, as this year draws to a close and we look back at what we did, and look forward to what we will create; we will continue to share our belief that life is precious, loving, joyous and worth every second that we give to it! Our hope for all of you is to count your blessings and know you are amazing, wonderful beings of light who shine every moment! From our hopeful hearts to yours, Thomas
