The year 2012 did not necessarily end on a high note for us...with a funeral, a trip to the ER on Christmas Eve, nearly everyone in my family (including extended family) getting sick, and being holed up in the house and having to cancel or postpone plans with friends and family we were to get together with, I seriously could use a do-over for the last couple of weeks.
But there were some great things that happened through the year...new friendships developed, old ones were reaffirmed and strengthened, new memories were made and milestones reached, growth and change happened all around us. Those things cannot be overlooked. Life is good.
Still not one for resolutions, I do appreciate the sense of starting fresh and beginning a new journey. I feel as though I lost focus of a few things last year, and my hope is to bring the right things back into perspective. In comparison to the prior couple of years, for one reason or another, I would say that I was a bit more negative, self-doubting, and insecure in 2012. I would like to change that. I would like to continue to strive for balance and renew my efforts to savor the moments in life that make it so special.
Shortly after the clock struck 12 last night, my neighbor said, "I resolve to be happy in 2013!"
Sounds good to me.
