I'll start out by saying the person who taught me this is a complete loon, total nut job & out right ass.

I took it & have run with it.

bby steps and specifics ... come the end of 2012 ill have my elephant all gobbled up!

Cheers, 2012!  You started with a bang (& serious day long hangover)...looking forward to the hours, days, weeks, months to come.

Hello, 2012.

So here we are, 2012.  

 I've spent a lot of time thinking and reflecting in 2011...and living. 

In an email to my uncle I put it like this...

'There were life lessons all over the first six months of my year.'

Lets revise: There were life lessons all over my 2011.

As I walked out of my office Friday evening I took some deep breaths and thought,

'So long to you, last business day of 2011.'

'So long to you, 2011.'

Bring on 2012.  I hope to make it the best yet.

I think I'm back in action on here.  I think.  We'll see.  

I said goodbye to 2011, what was a really hard & shitty year....but in my heart I know it was a trying yet, successful year of 

resistance

strength

travel

love

growth

blessings

&

laughs

I'll be the first to admit I removed myself from some responsibilities and commitments in a way I shouldn't have handled.  Not my finest of moments but completely necessary.

Literally the best countdown to a new year I have ever had.  I counted down at the top of my lungs....along with all of my jammied friends ....
