Well I reflect back on 2011 and think it wasn’t as bad as I originally thought. Oh sure we had some serious mishaps, Jarrett only worked 7 months out of the year, summer was tumultuous, I had to have emergency surgery, the new school year started off badly..I could go on, but that really isn’t my point. Every year brings the promise of hope and a new day, a chance to start anew, and even though some view each day they are alive this way, it is most emphasized at New Year’s. So 2011 I will bid you a final farewell, it was rough in places but there were significant blessings sprinkled in there with all of the difficulty. I look forward to 2012 as I do most years and I too have the hopes of a fresh start in a new home with my family and a more positive outlook on the world in general. Many things will come as time passes this year and I hope that when it is time to bid farewell to 2012 I am a better person than I am today! Love and light readers!
