Eve

Amanda has been working on a toast for dinner tonight. Something about how as bad as some of our news has been this past year, it's also been a good year.

She's still working on it, and has asked for my feedback.

I think what she's trying to say is that, while we've had bad news, we've also had a bigger measure of love and support. Our share of happiness. Our share of fun. Here's to a wonderful holiday.
