…and I’ve yet to write about my resolutions. goals. whatever you will call them.
I’ve got loads.
And they’re all written down on a list. (I’m sure you’re shocked)
But then as I’ve kept reminding myself to pop into this space and share my little list, it all started to seem a bit ridiculous. (sound familiar?)
Truth be told, last year wasn’t quite the year that I had hoped.
I had a birth that I still struggle to deal with some days. The resulting little guy is absolutely amazing, though. And now 10 months out I can at least separate the babe from the birth.
I had a rough patch as I adjusted to being a mama to two. A long, rough patch.
My husband was hit by a car.
But now, well, things are really looking up.
My husband is improving day-by-day.
My boys are growing in crazy cool ways at break neck speed.
I’ve adjusted, a bit better, to meeting both of their needs.
And let’s not forget my own.
So, really, life is pretty good and I’m pretty pleased with it all.
And I’d actually be ok if it all just stayed just like it is now. Just like it was today. Writing letters with my boy, cuddling with the babe, making cookies and eating them, printing during nap time.
I know that it can’t stay just like it is now, these boys will grow through the year and will be so very much different come 2013. But I’d like the feeling to stay the same. I’d like to try to manage to stay present with them and with my husband, while also continuing to carve out time for myself and my endeavors. I’d like to continue to try to move through our days with grace, without getting as overwhelmed or short-tempered as I’ve been prone to in the past. I’d like to laugh and smile and have fun and really sink my teeth into this year.
I’d like for 2012 to be grand. To be filled to the brim with greatness.
And I’d like to continue sharing that greatness with all of you.
Happy 2012 to you and yours. Grab onto it, hold tight, it’s going to be fast.
