A year of reflection

I'm looking back on all things 2012. I can't say any one event stands out more than the other. I can't say it was boring, it's just one big blur. I have my favorites though.

I loved seeing the family for July 4th. I've always loved that though. There's something wonderful about being with the people that know where you come from. There's so many wonderful people in my genetic gene pool. I love the saying "cousins are your first friends". That's true now more than ever.

Teagan turned 2 this year, Gavin turned 8. I turned 30. It's been a wonderful 30 years. Mostly.

I haven't suffered any major heartbreak this year (YAY). It seems the rest of the world has though. That makes me sad. My heart hurts for them.

I won't be making new resolutions this year. I'll make little changes that will lead to big changes. I hate putting pressure on myself to "be better". As if the person I am now is not good enough. Plus, let's be honest, I'd break my promises by February. So, I'll set little goals throughout the year and focus on what's really important because, December 31st, it won't matter if I didn't lose those pesky 10lbs or not.
