As 2012 ends

I am reminded that as I get older the giggles get better and cure more ills.

I am reminded that my struggles are small in the eyes of some and grand in the eyes of others, but they are what they are in my eyes.

I am reminded that great friends are forever. And that great friends can develop even as we get older and span different mediums of communication ;)

I am reminded that great and amazing things await us as we learn and grow as a family and as people.

I am reminded that it's ok to reflect on the same situation and keep learning new lessons.

I am reminded that it's ok to be different and to voice that difference without judgment of others or fear of judgment from others.

I am reminded that it's ok to enjoy a glass of wine. To truly savor that having a glass of wine generally means I'm focusing on me & something I enjoy.

I am reminded that it's ok to be me without guilt that I'm not perfect. Because I am perfect.

I am reminded that special needs doesn't have to mean "special needs". Thank you TUMC.

I am reminded that a simple phone call does wonders for the soul. As does a handwritten letter. Expect to see more of these. :)

I am reminded that you can journey to the brink and make it back to say "I love you" and "I miss you" and mean it sincerely.

2012 had it's fair share of ups & downs, but it was a good year. Chin chin to 2013 being on it's way. I can't wait to see what new and exciting adventures await us.
