etobicokelakeshorepress@gmail.com www.EtobicokeLakeshorePress.com @etobicokelakeshorepress Hello and welcome to our December edition. I can’t believe I just said that. Where has the time gone? Well, we did it. What a year! You and I. WE made it. God willing, you’re in a better place than you were this time last year.

The past two years have been an experience, to say the least. I’ve learned a lot about myself - as a husband, a father, a business owner. It’s been an educational year for me, I guess you could say. To use an equine phrase, I pretty much pinned my ears back and gave ‘er as hard as I could trying to keep everything afloat. I started the year with hope and a desire for more balance in my life. I’m ending it with more hope and the beginnings of balance. I’m making a more conscious effort to be present around my family to put my phone away more and move away from the grip of social media. Our boys are only young once, I keep reminding myself. Our youngest, especially, is heading off to kindergarten next year, so I’m spending more time with him and relishing these moments as I drag him around town delivering magazines and picking up treats.

If I’ve learned one thing about life as we continue to cope with Covid, it’s that we all need each other. We can’t do it alone. I need my wife. I need my kids. I need my community. Thank you for a wonderfully unique year. I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
