Last week it was moon, and this week it’s SUN! Even though I’ve been working on changing my mindset about winter, I still choose the warm, bright, happy-making sun of the Caribbean over the snow and slush of New England.

The end of the year makes me think back on what’s happened in the past 12 months. And what strikes me is never the specific events, but the fact that everything’s followed the same pattern that it did every other year. regardless of travel, job changes, growing children, the year follows its own rhythm. Like the moon rolling through its phases, the years’ pattern unfolds again and again. I like this watch mechanism because it still spins, giving me a tiny sense of control, as if I could change or reverse the phases of the moon.

We passed some kind of milestone recently. My 10 year-old son and I decided that our relationship has changed from being parasitic to symbiotic.

And now I can confidently say that as far as joy and love (maybe not household chores yet) we’re even.

I have a lot to feel grateful for this year, and I like the idea of wearing a little reminder of that around my neck.

Each of us kids would step onto the tall scale, and whatever we weighed was how much we paid for our dinner. As a kid who was small for my age, I was lucky even then!
