Happy New Year!! Hope everyone had a safe and fun night ringing in 2012! Natalie was so excited this year because she was allowed to stay up and she actually made it to midnight! Mama on the other hand was hurtin' by 11 :)
Even though I didn't get much sleep, I woke up feeling energized and ready to start this year off on the right foot. 2011 was full of many highs and some definite lows. As far as this blog goes, it has grown and changed a lot in the last year. I feel that this year I really became comfortable with my blogging "voice" and you guys have welcomed me with open arms. I have met so many amazing people and many have become lifelong friendships. I was overwhelmed by your love and support when I told you about the
elephant in the room and then when I needed to
take a break. Knowing that I have people that love me and care about me even though we had never "met" has been such a blessing and has helped more then I could ever explain. I have no expectations this year when it comes to my depression. I can only take it one day at a time and hope for more good days then bad but accept each day for what it is.
With that said I only have one resolution this year and that is...
Life is too short and my girls are growing too fast. Even though I have no control over my depression, I do have control on doing things that bring joy to my life.
And I have a lot to be thankful for and joyful about.
Take this last year for example...
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you a year in pictures...
