It’s a rare treat when we are home for any length of time, especially during the holidays. This year, thanks to my surgery, we’ve been able to spend a few weeks at our home in Virginia. Today was great because we got to celebrate Christmas with family. My brother and his family live very close to us. As is traditional for him and his wife, all their kids (and their kids) descend on the Spencer home and fill the place with love and laughter. It was pretty awesome to be a part of it all.
Yesterday, I talked with some of our dearest friends in Arizona. Today, I connected with my little brother and sister. And tonight, I talked with my mom and dad in Arkansas. Family – other things may change but we start and end with family.
I am a blessed man. I have an amazing, gifted, and talented wife who actively supports me and my dreams. I have a great job that allows me to spend time with her and to share adventures together around the world. And I have a wonderful family that understands and values the meaning of Christmas.
