My word for the year…
We had a pretty rough 2012.
We lost some important people and weathered a lot of stress.
I was very happy to see it go away and said goodbye in an idylic setting with some of the folks that I love the best.
So I’ve chosen ‘Content’ as my word of the year
I want to stop and enjoy everything that I’m lucky enough to have in my life.
I want to let go of things that upset me and seek out opportunities that don’t necessary ‘let me get ahead’ but instead enrich me as: a person, a wife, a daughter, a sister, a friend, a mother and a child of God.

Your post touched me. We too, have lost a lot of important people to us this year. One just as recently as 3 days ago. It’s been incredibly hard. I’m delving in to the bible to learn what I can of salvation by grace and the love he has for us. It really feels as if it’s the only thing to get me through. I usually refrain from discussing such serious issues on a public forum, but some how it seems wrong not to discuss it this time for me. I can’t explain myself.
If you ever want a sympathetic ear. email me.
Oh, what a beautiful note. In a world that a lot of people are afraid to put themselves ‘out there’ you have truly, truly made a connection. I so appreciate you reaching out and pray for some healing for you and yours. I also try to keep things ‘light’ in my corner of the web but I’m also trying to make my writing real C:
Oh, Jane! It’s been a rough couple of years for us as well… I lost a very dear friend at Thanksgiving, and she left two very small girls behind! My dad was diagnosed with Parkinson’s and my FIL is about to have surgery. Oh, how I hope 2013 will be calmer and less eventful.
My prayers are with you and I hope this coming year brings amazing things!
Oh Doll. 2012 can just suck it. 2013 is going to be calmer and lovely and full of promise. I hope that your heart is getting a bit of healing time.
