Goodbye 2012....

Tomorrow is the last day of 2012.  It is amazing how fast a year can go!  I have really enjoyed this year, it has had its' ups and downs, but overall it has been really good.

I had set 3 New Years Resolutions for this year and was able to achieve some of them.....:)

1st....I accomplished my goal of 500 miles...in fact, I am at 560 miles with one more day to go.  :)

2nd....De-cluttering....well, I had my moments with this one and since we just packed up a bunch of things for Goodwill I have worked on this, to some extent.

3rd...my prayer journal....well, let's just say....I need to work harder on this one.

As I sit and reflect on this past year I can think of so many things that I did or tried to do....

I got to be a part of my brother's wedding which was a FABULOUS time with family!  I am so blessed that he found such a perfect match!

I went on my first cruise...which I LOVED!

I ran a 10k....which I LOVED..... when it was OVER!

I have lots of memories with my sweet girls, who are growing up WAY TOO fast.  I am so proud to be their mom!

I was spoiled another year by my wonderful husband, who loves me with all of my faults.

I tried to mend some relationships that I had not worked hard enough on and I tried to be the type of friend I would want others to be.  I know I let many people down at times and was not there for some when they needed me, but it wasn't because I wasn't trying.

I loved lots and laughed often.

I tried to be the type of person God would want me to be and though I fall short in so many areas, I will continue to try.

As this year ends and 2013 quickly approaches I am grateful for all that I have and will continue to try and be better.

I hope to be a better wife, mom, family member, friend, teacher, and person in 2013.

I also hope to run 750 miles in 2013 as I have realized running makes me feel better, both physically and mentally.

I hope to continue to work on "de-cluttering."

I will try again on my prayer journal and spending more quality time in prayer.  I will try not to ask...but to accept.

I hope 2013 is a GREAT year for everyone.  Unfortunately for so many 2012 isn't ending like they had hoped and it hurts me to see my friends sad or hurt.  I hope that the New Year brings happiness to all.

Have a fabulous and safe New Years Eve!
