My early years were spent on a farm in rural Alberta. I was the first of three “home made hired men” who, along with our mom, helped my dad build a successful mixed farm. The youngest of the hired men took over the farm when dad retired. Today, he and his son raise beef cattle on the home quarter—the rest of the land is rented to a neighboring grain farmer.

It is my custom to pause at years’ end and reflect. I do a great deal of reflecting, finding that as I mature I have more time to think and more to think about. A gentle way of admitting I am getting old! It has been a wonderful year. I no longer set as many goals and therefore don’t disappoint myself, or others, but quietly move through the days, appreciating all that I am and all that I have. Being present.
