The year has come to a sleepy end and a new one has just begun. With that beginning come the hopes of new things, the dreams of potential changes and the sweet sorrow of things passed by:
- 2011 held a lot of emotion for me. I have had many times of tearful reflection this week. I haven’t been able to put my finger on the reason for the tears until I sat down to type this. My life changed in 2011. Cliche as it may sound, it is true. And I was not really looking for a change, nor was I ready for it. So many facets of emotion twisted up into months of physical and emotional pain. Pieces I am still picking up as life moves forward. And how thankful I am that it moves forward.
- Our annual beach trip fell into place nicely despite recovering from surgery. What a joy that is for us and how happy we are to look forward to that each year.
- My children are happy, healthy, intelligent and well adjusted despite the roller coaster that is life. What more can be said about that?
- Jesse gave me this necklace for Christmas. Yep, I love life. Happy 2011!!

Erin,
I wanted to stop by and thank you for your sweet comment on my blog. It meant so much to me.
You are amazing. I can only imagine what you’ve gone through the past couple of years and I’m sorry you’ve had to do it at such a young age.
I am so grateful for examples like you in my life, even if we have just connect through blogging.
I hope this year is wonderful for you and your family.
Much love,
Jess
