2012. You were a bipolar year. Lots of crap and lots of good. I can't put even a percentage of what made this year crappy on this list because then it wouldn't be a list it would be a story. My favorite things from this year were: Reading 40 books (My ny resolution was to start reading)!! Seeing Coldplay with Fab and Marlucio; the trips to Boston and NC; All the extra time spent with friends (new and old), spending Thanksgiving in Indiana.
2012 another year of change and growing in virtue. Another year of realizing I'm not in control. Another year forcing me to see reality. Another year showing me how blessed I am to have the friends and family that I have.
