Woohoo! Is it possible to say that 2023 was a boring year? A fun year to be sure, but the early part of the decade and its drama continues to recede...and of course, we all move forward at the rate of one year per year. :)
For Nick and me, our 5th anniversary hit in February. He just moved to a new place in New Hampshire, with enough room to bring his massive vinyl collection out of storage. I'm thinking the beast is awakened LOL. I'm still in Las Vegas with AMH, and unfortunately we don't have markets up near Nick, so I think our relationship will stay long distance for a couple more years. Then...we'll see. I do get out east about four times a year and Nick gets out west about the same amount. Here's one of our hikes in western Massachusetts during one of the eastern trips...
AMH continues to be good. I submitted our Leadership Journey and its progressive approach to leadership training to CLO, a major learning organization, as part of their Learning in Practice awards for 2023. We got word that we were a finalist, any my boss immediately said "We're going to the awards ceremony in San Diego!" This group gives Bronze, Silver, and Gold awards out, and I would have been quite happy with the Bronze...but to my great surprise, we won Gold! It's yet another endorsement of how successful businesses can be with the right approach to the human skills side of the equation.
Nick has now met Jim, Joe...and Peg! My sister is now officially a nomad, wandering the country in a camper trailer. She wandered into LA right when Nick and I visited Jim and Joe for a combination Thanksgiving/Nick's birthday celebration.
No upheavals, no drama, and yes, I'm in the same house going on three years now! LOL While I've learned it's impossible to see ahead with crystal clarity, I know that as long as I have great friends and family close at hand, life is indeed good.
Merry Christmas!
