Happy New Year to all! My #topnine2020 has a lot of selfies (I swear the algorithm favors them), some travels, and one portrait of a lake near our new home. And some ice cream I already miss from old one. A year of change along with all the relentless sameness of lockdowns. Here's to the challenges of 2021. We certainly learned a lot this year that we can put to use on them. 🥂

Wishing you a little light and warmth this evening

Wishing you a little light and warmth this evening. It's been a wild ride to arrive at Christmas 2020. Even if you feel like the fellow on my Pyramide who is facing backward as the ground spins beneath him, you made it! A toast to all the faith, all the effort, and all the people that helped us hang on to this point. May they all remain with us as we strive for a better year next time around. ♥️

Partner Chad with half of my birthday present (25# dumbbell set! 😃) on a warm Sunday felt good. Okay, long and tiring, but good-adjacent. CrossFit-good, if you will. 😂

Our shipped goods arrived from Germany on Friday morning, so the past couple of days have been long. Lots of unpacking, evaluating, organizing, and cleaning. So close to having ourselves really moved in makes it hard to slow down. I just move from task to task without thinking of the rest or variety or relaxing that I need.

Thanks for the CrossFit-good idea, @lazyaznlifts! And thanks for inviting us to work with ya 20-feet apart, @chipsahoiyee. Shout-out to my WOD and life partner for knocking it out with me. It's been a challenging few weeks, but we're doing the dang thing. 😘

Took a walk today. Sold a bunch of things I can let go of. Tried to remember that the chaos of this move will settle down. Noticed the clouds. Not bad. Not bad. 😌

Happy German Reunification Day! If you ever want to learn some interesting history, read about the division and reunification of Germany. Watch the videos of Germans protesting for months before and then streaming over the checkpoints on November 9th, 1989. Then look into reunification and all the decisions that had to be made to knit the country back together. It's no small thing being celebrated, and in many ways, it's an ongoing project. 🍻 So "Prost" to 30 years and many more to come! #latergram

Back in Maryland, USA. 🦀 We had smooth flights

Back in Maryland, USA. 🦀 We had smooth flights with very little trouble socially distancing, and all our luggage made it with us. 😅 Slowly we'll reconstitute our lives in our new/old stomping grounds. Already old rhythms have asserted themselves in sales transactions and polite conversations. It's nice to be an easy customer again. 😊 But recent habits show up out of place. Saying "Entschuldigung" to get someone to move out of the way is not super helpful around here. 😂 One thing's for certain: it's going to be interesting.

The sun is setting on our time in Berlin. We move

The sun is setting on our time in Berlin. We move soon, but it's hard to imagine leaving. This city is special. There are so many people we will miss. It's so easy and rewarding to explore and learn here.

We don't want to go, but we're learning the power of farewells to force us out of complacency. We've said things we might otherwise keep to ourselves. We've heard things that we will treasure for years to come. We've noticed details we've ignored before. We've savored flavors more carefully. We've just have to do it through puffy eyes and a tightness in our chests as the gratitude threatens to burst our ribcages. 😩
