CELEBRATING 2022 AS WE MOVE INTO 2023
The tow truck looks considerably smaller than the big Fed-Ex truck, but got the job done.
The truck is no longer blocking so, Grandma and Kaori are on their way to an Orthodontic checkup. Earlier, they had discussed what Kaori would like to watercolor for Grandma’s blog this week. Kaori had answered, “I like the fireworks celebrating New Year, but maybe the celebration can also be of the best parts of this past year.”
Turning left on to West Mercer Way, Grandma explained, “Maybe I’ll write about Fed-Ex truck and think about the ‘Tow-Trucks’ in our life.
Kaori was enthusiastic, “I like that!”
“So what are some of the Tow-Trucks we can celebrate?”
Kaori answers from the back seat of the Subaru, “Community! Of course family, and yes, friends.
“Let’s start with you, what was the best part of 2022 for you?” Grandma asks as we turn right at the corner with all the special holiday lighting in Mercerdale Park. “There is no doubt the watercolors you got for your birthday in June is your highlight?”
“I was kind of thinking of our Hawaii trip, but yes AND all the pencils and watercolor stuff for Christmas,” Kaori adds.
Back at home, Kirin has no trouble responding to what she plans to celebrate, “High School and Drill Team. I like the discipline, I get a lot of exercise and I love the camaraderie!” Mercer Island Drill Team got first place in their local tournament a couple weeks ago. They are determined to win state.
Mom, Kelly, lost several pounds on her Keto Diet with her coach, but she’s not ready to celebrate because she is not done yet.
Grandma is pleased to celebrate the monthly random guests, since May, participating in the STORIES AT THE PANAMA. Listening to many podcasts about “finding and expressing the truth - of who I am”, she heard and embraces the phrase “FINDING THE RICHNESS OF LIFE IN EVERY STORY”. What a mission statement for her new life path.
There was a smile on his face, as the Fed-Ex driver hollered out his window to the Tow-truck driver as they were leaving,“That was ‘POWERFUL HELP’, thanks!!”
