As the boys get older, the adventures get more adventurous. Each day I think about my keys for the day - move, think, and do - for my family and myself, and this year was a lot of doing. Carribean trips to new places, my first cruise ship trip, baseball spring training in Florida (5 games in 4 days), ski trips around Pennsylvania, new baseball stadiums (Cleveland, Los Angeles, Anaheim, Kansas City, Las Vegas (AAA), and lots of youth baseball fields), Madison Square Gardens and a Broadway show, lots of baseball hats and jerseys, another cross-country road trip, a month of exploring Los Angeles as a local, surfing in Venice, topped off by a week in Panama in the jungle and a Thanksgiving dinner over the water. There was also a lot of reading, painting, building, learning, music lessons, youth championships and medals, new experiences and new friends. Patience, perseverance, listening. Swimming, bike riding (my youngest’s first bike ride!), pools, hikes, card games, books, discovering music, and more. Here’s to more of everything in 2025.
