Putting it behind us

As this year comes to a close I see people say they are putting the bad of the year behind them. I'd love to just pack up the bad, send it to the garage with the Christmas decorations, and leave it there. The bad of this year is not something I can walk away from. It's not something I can wrap in a package, label "2012", and store away as if it never existed. However, I can live with the bad, knowing I have learned some real tough but rewarding lessons, and I can use that to become a better person: A better wife, a better friend, a better mother. So, as I leave 2012, knowing I am leaving the only time my daughter existed on this Earth, I leave with strong friendships, stronger love, and a heart so full for those in it that is seeps out! I'm not a mushy person, a touchy person, or a sappy person, but as we begin 2013 I want each of you to know, I do love you and I am infinitely blessed by what 2012 has brought me in spite of what 2012 took from me. Thank you! Here's to 213 being filled with hope and rainbows!
