Here’s a thought exercise: What if you could go back and do it all again? What if you could revisit your youth, but with the knowledge and confidence that you have now. Would you do it? And if you did, what would be different? A submission as part of January Jumpstart 2023.
It’s hard to believe that this is a journey that began six months ago. Reflection is a core part of my daily practice. As we find ourselves on the cusp of a new year, I find myself taking a broader view of where I am, what I have learned and what remains unexplored. I am on the journey of a lifetime with a partner that I adore. For all the progress that we have made, it feels like we are just getting started. That’s an exciting proposition.
For those who observe, it is the start of the new year. For others, it is a time to remember the passing of loved ones. For all, the chill and darkness call for a warming and flavourful drink. The Beartender is here to serve, with a drink that hearkens to the early days of New Orleans.
