A Year in Review

This year I lost:

• An Uncle and a Great-Aunt to death
• Another Aunt to her choice
• 50 pairs of shoes
• My nerve at golf
• My married name

This year I found:

• Perspective
• Hope
• 8 unwanted pounds
• My domestic side
• My creative side
• A renewed identity
• A safe place

This year I learned:

• I may not understand people's choices but I have to respect them.
• I am not alone.
• Not always knowing the answer has to be OK sometimes.
• I can trust.
• You can't always gain closure.

I wonder what I will lose, find and learn in 2012...
