DEAR 2012

Dear 2012,

First off, thanks for proving the Mayans wrong.

The year started with a broken heart. And admittedly--yes, it took me awhile (and buckets of tears) to accept things, but I am grateful that you have redeemed yourself.

Thank you for bringing me clarity.  Thank you for helping me realize that a bad thing usually turn out to be a blessing in disguise. Thank you for teaching my sentimental self to weed out people who do nothing but bring me down. And I almost forgot, thank you for the weight loss!

What I loved most about you was the weight loss people you made sure I was surrounded with.  Thank you for my son's unconditional love.  I yelled at him a few days ago and then I said sorry after, explaining that I was just getting frustrated and he just hugged me and said "Mama, it's okay."  There are times where I really feel that he understands more than what I give him credit for.

Thank you for the wonderful and crazy relationship I share with my mom and my sisters.  Sure, we fight once in awhile but I have never felt more closer with each of them even when we're all in different locations.

Then there are my friends.  I really really really could not ask for more from all of them.  They have been there for me in the most surprising ways.

In the past 12 months, I've learned, I've cried, I've fallen, I've gotten back up, I've laughed harder and I continue to love and hope.

Before you go, I need you to know that you have filled my year with so many good things that it has overcome the bad.  To say the least, I didn't think the year could have gotten better, but it did. It really, really did.

Cheers to that!

xoxo,
Bunny
