To say that 2012 wasn’t a great year would be lying. 2012 was a fantastic year! I am thankful for all the experiences I had and all the people I have in my life.
Some highlights from 2012:

Having the experience of a garden, something I’d never had before

It’s been a great year. There have been challenges, like any other year, but the greatness far exceeds the challenges. Whether it was sickness, drama, or anything else, I have put my foot down. I am only accepting love this year. I will discard of those and things that bring something other than love and joy and happiness. I am a good person and deserve good things.
Some goals for 2013:
- Find a way to have more free time and work less
- Being prosperous
- Baking and maybe trying to make a little cook book I could sell to people who are interested
- Traveling abroad (Denmark 2013!(as well as the surrounding areas))
- Following “The Secret” a bit more closely
- Loving and living
Here’s to 2013! I hope to be more active on this blog, but who knows. I’d rather live life than write about it sometimes. :)
All Good! I like this and need to reflect and do it for myself. I also like that I was a part of many things here! Yay.
ReplyDeleteIt feels good to reflect on all the positive. Makes you forget about the not so positive, and also realize that the positive out weighs the negative. :) xx
