Happy New Year!
Well, 2011 was quite a year, wasn't it? A friend of mine pointed out on facebook how much hate there was for this past year, but she enjoyed the birth of her daughter so how could it be bad? This was a good reminder for me since I remember feeling the same way last new years eve. 2011 was a good year. I had many friends have their first (and second) babies, there were some weddings, moves, graduations and other joys. Nick, Isabella and I all celebrated big birthdays this year with unparalleled parties. And although I was diagnosed with cancer, I beat cancer this year.
Although I can't say I am sad to see it go, 2011 was a year of blessings in disguise for me. I spent more time with friends and family due to my battle than I ever get to. I was gifted time and time again with love, prayers, thoughts, trinkets, time and support. I got to experience the depth of my amazing community of family and friends. And despite the fact that I was "down" through much of it, I was blessed with a year at home with my sweet girl, that I might likely not have gotten otherwise.
With all of that said, I welcome 2012 with open arms. I see many wonderful things for this coming year. I hope to get up on the stage and do some performing this year. I think I will seek out part time work to help ease the financial burden of our household while reclaiming a little bit of Karey the professional. Isabella will turn 2 this year which has already started to bring mobility, independence and communication. I could never have guessed what 2011 was going to bring, so lesson learned, I will not even begin to try for 2012. I will simply trust that it will be an amazing year.
Happy new year everyone. I hope that you wish 2011 farewell with peace in your heart, and welcome 2012 with open arms.
