A while back I changed the name of this to “reflections of me”, so what better title for a new year’s post? After all, new years are for reflecting on the past and future.
2011 was…challenging, to be understated. All of the chaos with my brother & niece, the stupid petty crap between all of the brothers, the drama at work & uncertainty of possibly losing a job that was supposed to be stable…And ending it with dad having a serious surgery (of course, all surgeries are serious), well, let’s just say that I don’t mind that the year is finally over.
So now what? What do I want from 2012? I know what I really want, but realistically I know it will never be. So I’ll settle on a more realistic wish list.
I wish for a job that brings me joy and a sense of making a difference. Whether I remain with our program (which I really want) or move on to newer pastures, I want to know that what I’m doing matters.
I wish for a family that can celebrate together without escalating to fights.
I wish for more reasons to smile than frown.
I wish for peace, happiness, and joy for all of us.
Happy New Year, folks. Here’s hoping that 2012 is an improvement on 2011.
