Thanks 2012 For The Memories - All Of Them

It's been quite a year.  Personally for me, it's been about family and friends.  It's been about travel and races and cruises.  It's been full of blessings every single day.

But it's also been about unimaginable heartbreak and tragedy on a national level.  It's been about political disagreements and opinions.  It's been about issues and rights and accusations.  It's been about bad weather and Mayans and the media.

Somehow we've made it through it all, and have been changed from it.  Each day may have opened our eyes and hearts, made our personal feelings a little stronger and more audible, and made us more aware of our surroundings and responsibilities.  Here's hoping that we've become better people in the 366 days that 2012 gave us.

So thanks 2012, for each day.  You were a very good year!
