First flowers of the year |
It was a pretty good year for me, personally. I studied French again. I saw some wonderful art exhibits. I ate some delicious meals. I met my Secret Boyfriend in the flesh! I had some interesting and challenging assignments at work. I attended a writing workshop. I saw some old friends again, renewing our acquaintance - and I met some internet friends in person. I visited our son, and proudly noted his accomplishments and maturity.
After a highly charged political year, our country had an election that, in my opinion, turned out as it should.
I traveled, to Seattle, to Venice and Paris, to London - twice!
There were setbacks. We had to repair some damage to our house. I learned I'm losing my job.
And sadness - I lost a dear friend.
What to do in 2013?
- I hope to take another French class.
- I want to try to sell my writing.
- Put the books back on my bookshelves!
- Clean the basement
- Start swimming again, or walk farther
- I hope to travel, even modestly, and take pleasure in seeing new places.
- I hope to find an occupation that will make me fulfilled - whether it's a new job or self-employment
- I hope to keep my friendships strong; reconnect with those I've lost; and make new friends.
How about you? How did 2012 treat you, and what do you hope for 2013?
2012 had its highs and lows. I'm quite hopeful for 2013.
ReplyDeleteMay all your wishes come true. My 2012 was a year of change. Welcome change which now leaves hopeful for 2013.

Exactly what I want to do ....Start swimming again, or walk farther
ReplyDeleteAunt Snow....I think you list is fantastic! I hope to slow down enough to make one! I just read the post and while I'm months late...wanted you to know I'm sorry for your loss of your dear friend. Here is a thought to her memory, which I'm sure you will keep alive through your writing. You are a dear person...Diane Carol
