Dear 2012,
I have been looking forward to this year since early of last year. 2011 is safely behind me now. I tied up a few hanging strands right there at the end of 2011 and have resolved to leave much of that year in the past.
I am also going to take the first part of the year to decide on my resolutions. Honestly I am unsure if 2012 will be easier than 2011. I hope so! 2011 left me broken and tired. Maybe stronger, but I don't want to find out. I really extra don't want to find out.
2012 is already weird because it is so temporary. Everything here is just for a little while now. My last full year in Ohio is already gone. I believe that I had my last Christmas and New Years here since I plan on traveling to Texas for the holidays this year. Much of this impermanence will determine how much resolving I can do.
Much of this year will be spent having fun! I can tell already since it started with a party. This winter is already 100 times better than last year. All the snow melted off and we defrosted with an awesomely sunny (seriously more sun that July) 50' day. Ohio has taught me not to waste days like this.
Josh and I began by jumping on the trampoline. We jumped on each other's shadows, spelled his name with chalk and played "Buzzy Lightyear to the rescue!". When Isabelle woke up we took a walk/bike ride to the bike park. We played 3 year old hide and go seek, taking turns hiding behind different trees. We all jumped off the stump a few dozen times and stood on the rocks. We played ready set go! and took turns on the radio flyer. Isabelle is finally old enough to have a good time. And we did. I feel so glad for this break from winter, before it really sets in. I just hope we get to thaw out like this every couple of weeks.
Sincerely
