I’ve found that the older I get the more I want to focus in on what I want from life. When I look back at the goals I set out for 2019 I am proud to say that it is directionally things that are important for me. Reading, reflecting, and taking care of myself.

December is always the hardest month to write about. I know in the back of my mind after I finish this post I have to somehow sum up 2019 into one post. But until we get there let’s look back on an abbreviated December.

As I write this post on the first day of December we are just starting to see the first snow of the winter come down. Frasier is busy chewing on his rope and Jenn is enjoying a documentary about the first rides at Disneyland on Disney+. It’s been an amazing month and we can’t wait to see how the end of the decade comes to a conclusion.

There’s no doubt about it, October is the best month to be in New York City. Jenn, Frasier and I took full advantage with tons of walks, visits to Central Park, and what turned out to be an incredible month.

September is one of the (if not the) best months in New York. Like the flip of a switch, the weather turns for 90+ degrees with 100% humidity to 70-degrees with lower humidity and less rain. It’s a beautiful month to live in the city and wow did we make the most of it.

We’re officially a year older this month and we’ve now had Frasier for over a month (although it feels like we’ve had him forever). August turned out to be a busy, fun, and memorable month that made us even more excited for the remaining months of 2019.
