As we bring 2012 to a close I have been reflecting on the year that was. I have to say I am glad to see 2012 come to a close. This was a year of change good and not so good. A year of grief for me, grieving not just the loss of my mother, the most significant person in my life, but the loss of a job, which is turning in to a redirection for me. It was not the loss of the job itself, but the way in which it was accomplished. It was painful for me, on top of everything else.
Now of not of 2012 was negative, or painful. I had very positive reviews at my other jobs in Chaplaincy, I had a redefining of what it is I want in life. Where I hope to go from here, and I began taking small steps in that direction. Its by the inch easier instead of the big steps I try and end up falling. I lost weight this year which is a good thing, I want to maintain the weight I have and not put it back on. I am thankful my faith, family, and friends have helped me through a tough year.

Looking toward 2013, I hope the new year will bring with it a fulfilling of promise and potential for us all. I look toward beginning an academic program which will lead to a more fulfilling future. The ability to meet financial goals for savings, and paying for continuing education. I hope for a change in grief toward the new normal I have read so much about. To have a more even, peaceful life in 2013, with fewer lows. Positive outcomes for us all.
