#365 / New Year's Eve

On New Year's Eve in 1972, I got a vivid reminder that this day was the beginning of something completely new. My daughter Sonya was born. 

I got a 1972 tax deduction, too. 

The tax deduction was welcome, but it is is long gone now (not that I didn't appreciate it at the time). Sonya is still bringing lots of joy to our family - and to lots of other people, too. 

December 31st will always be a great day for me. 

Happy Birthday, Sonya!
