2013...

Happy New Year's everyone!

I was going to reflect on 2012, the ups and downs...how far I've come. But really when I think of 2012, I think of new beginnings, new adventures, and unconditional love. My divorce...doesn't seem as significant as some of these other milestones in my life.

I thought I would also write about my New Year's Eve...how it compared to last year, but in the end it was another night of doing things, and going places I would never had done or gone to. I think the best part of my New Year's was spending time with my beautiful friend, who never ceases to make me laugh and enjoy the moment.

I will say, this New Year's I made sure to have my family with me, in spirit of course. A ring from my older sister, a bracelet from my younger, and a dress from my parents. As I rung in 2013, I had everyone I wanted with me. Including you. I thought about this blog and how it has transformed and how I can't wait to read back one day where I started and where I have ended.

I have a girlfriend who is writing a blog about her travels in Ireland...her semester abroad. In her first post she wrote about finding herself....I think the amazing thing about life is that you are continually finding yourself. Continually blossoming into an even better version of yourself, if you so choose.

The fact is, no one has the answer. We all make mistakes. But in order to grow we have to learn from these mistakes. And 2013 will be just that, another learning experience, with its own ups and downs and incredible adventures.

2012 was great...2013 will be even better.
