there we go, a whole year in 7 minutes and change!

like always, at the end of the year i have this feeling that lots of things were terrible… but looking at these videos helps contextualize and put events in perspective. yes, we spent a lot of time in hospitals and waiting rooms in 2023 — but we also spent over a month exploring taiwan, redid the garden, saw babies grow, kept in touch with friends, ate lots of delicious meals, hugged loved ones, read books, identified new birds, enjoyed summer, celebrated birthdays, saw projects come to life, grew some vegetables… :) so even if some things were bad, how can a year with all of that in it be called a “bad” year?

may 2024 bring good health — we’ll deal with the rest!
