Out with 2012...In with 2013

2012 was a tough year over all. Lots of changes happened some were good and others were down right horrible. Lessons were learned some good, some bad and some were obviously a repeat from other times.

The good that happened this year is we have finally got a working diagnoses. it's not a great one but it's better than what we've been dealing with in the form of some unknown, faceless monster stalking and attacking us. We will be adjusting to a new normal now and making some important changes as treatments and pills and torture  I mean therapies get underway.

It's amazing to see the power that being reunited with family has. I can't stop smiling as I witness the joy and worth given to another simply because they've been reunited with a family member. It's amazing to see the changes that happen when someone goes from feeling like they don't belong to anything or anyone to feeling like they are part of something. Many important lessons have been learned as missing puzzle pieces have clicked into place at last. Many lessons will be coming from this in the future I'm sure, as the people involved learn to navigate a new path. I wonder what the new pattern in the fabric of their lives will look like... I'm blessed that I got to witness this.

The number of funeral invites crept up to more than I care to see in a year but far less than have been experienced in a years time frame. Obviously the lesson learned here is life is short and you never know when your time will come so you should treat every day as if it's your last. I got to work on this. I got to let my family and friends know that I love them and care for them a lot even though I may not say it. I got to work on that. I got to quit putting off seeing people and talking on the phone with people because I may never get a chance to see them or speak with them again and regret isn't something that is easy to live with.

That's just a little bit of what 2012 had.

Welcome 2013

What lessons and magic do you have in store for us this year? What dreams will come true? What hardships will be taken away? What glorious times will I get to witness this year? I'm kind of excited to find out.
