Goodbye 2012, Hello 2013!

I would be lying if I said that I was sad about closing out 2012.  

2012 was a hard year for me.  It was challenging work wise, parenting wise, and family wise.  I had hoped that this year I would find the ability to balance it all.  To get it all done.  To be the perfect wife, mother, daughter and friend.  I didn't.  

I did however, learn a lot about myself.  I learned that:

-I am stronger than I think but that sometimes I need to be more vulnerable than I would like to be
-Sometimes you have to hit bottom before you can begin the journey upward again
-Loving is sometimes letting go and watching mistakes be made
-Sometimes it is best to be quiet rather than speak
-Very often I talk the talk, without walking the walk  


And so I enter 2013.  A year older, a year wiser.
