L'ANNEE PASSEE
This time last year, Lisa was very very pregnant and we were sitting in front of the fire wondering what the baby would be like. We knew she was a girl, but we had no idea what she'd be like. You can only tell so much from kicking!
Now Jesse Anne is almost a year old. She's taken a few steps on her own, and she's just started to try to say words. She has the most wonderful personality of any baby I've ever met. I wonder what someone so delighted to be alive will grow up into. I never thought I would be so lucky.
It has been a terrific year. It started in pain and stress professionally, but that got more or less put to bed. I had a great summer in South Africa, and now I'm working on a screenplay I'm delighted with. I've got interest in one of my TV pitches, and I've got another pitch all but polished. I've also got a book proposal I think will sell. Lisa's really learned how to work on a story with me. She has good ideas and good criticisms. (Some of them are
great ideas.)
Lisa sold her book proposal ...
Hunter's had a terrific year at school and has really blossomed as a person, and my relationship with him is all I could have hoped for...
My marriage is all I ever wanted from a relationship: love and friendship and passion and a few other things that are none of your business ...
The Goddess has been good to us this year.
Thank you, Goddess!
I hope your last year has been as good, and if not, I hope this year will be.
