Ahhhhh, 2011! It's been a year, no? Around these parts, there were many growing pains: four adults, licenses, graduation, moving out. Wow! That's a lot for one year. Stir in a crazy seasonal job, kids with jobs, kids in college, hubby's five stores shifting like the wind, heading up the ACH group, friend's retiring, and lots of family drama. Sprinkle it with recessions, unemployment, government chaos, and general world unrest. Whew!
Although we can be happy to put some of that behind us, it is precisely all those things, mashed up together, that help us become who we are. Some things were fantastic! To know that hubby and I created two adults ~ working, caring, intelligent, amazing, philanthropic, creative, beautiful, fabulous adults ~ just keeps me in awe. The moving out thing was not as exciting, but acknowledged as part of those very same adults growing and exploring. The death of tyrants is a wonderful thing, but the continuous upheaval of various areas of the earth is . . . not so much.
We can only claim our own little corner of the world. We fix what we're able, amend what we can, love unceasingly, and try to make a little bit of positive difference. Pointing fingers and depositing blame on others doesn't work. There's always three fingers pointing back at you and, as of late, deposits soon turn into withdrawals with interest. Let's take responsibility for ourselves, our actions, our troubles, and our abilities to get out of them.
Let's make 2012 a year of possibilities. A fresh start to gain insight into our own cores, our own desires, our own incredible abilities, and our own opportunities. We can achieve great things if first, we believe in ourselves! Happy New Year's Eve! Be safe! Be careful! Don't drink and drive! And make 2012 the Year of the New You!
