Brothers Campfire Reflections of 2021

Posted on

Benjamin from Brother’s Campfire here!

Today is a day of benchmarking and reflecting on the year. I am not sure if the new year will allow it on the right date. (If there is a right date)

At the beginning of the year, I resolved to live for God, improve my skills and get a better job, create a garden club, lose 30 pounds and walk 50 miles in 24 hours.

I didn’t get all that done; here’s what really happened.

January- Got Covid

February- Lost 17 pounds. ( I lost a total of 30 this year and kept 20 off)

Dumb Bells Losing It On A Consistent Basis.

March- Got A New Job As A Volunteer Coordinator

Don’t Count The Lions

April- Learned A Little About Empathy And Had My Gall Bladder Removed.

Cockatiels, Emotional Intelligence,and Campfire
Gall, Fortune Cookies, and Raising Young Men.

May- Began Learning About Pottery And Processing Raw Material For The Art

Mudballs, Tunnels, Burning Cash and The Pottery Realm

June- Celebrated Our 17th Anniversary By Wilderness Backpacking

Our 17th Anniversary Adventure Part 1

July- We Patched Up A Duck That Took On A Dog

Culinarians, Leg Braces, Hot Sauce and Where’s Waldo.

August- I Try My Hand At Forging

Paint Can Forge, Pottery, And A Several Shout Outs.

September- The Pottery Starts Looking Good

Andy Ward Inspired Pottery and a Little Visitor

October-Was Spent In Reflection And Nothing Was Posted

Very Few Did. Thanks For Checking On Me Friends!

November-I wrote What I Love About My Beloved

What I Love About My Wife

December- I Advocated For My Beloved

Jessi, Memorial Hospital’s Third Floor Troll

Did I meet any of my goals? Not really, but I think I was a good steward of my time.

    Blimey, what an eventful year you have had. I’m exhausted just reading it. Hope that 2022 brings you some pleasant surprises, Benjamin.

      Thanks Hobbo! I still want to do the 50-mile hike in one day, but priorities have changed a lot!

    Wow quite the year for you and your family!!

    2022 hopefully will bring you many blessings – I have a feeling will be better year for all of us ??

    And life makes us learn lessons 🤨🙄 I do not like those lessons / but they do teach us things and maybe brighten the world eventually ? 🙏🙏

      Hopefully, I learned enough lessons to carry me through for a while! 🤠🔥📖📖📖
