There were, of course, numerous highlights - overseas travel, my brother J getting back from South America, solidifying friendships old and new and growing closer to my wonderful extended family.
But there were a few sad events to throw a dampener over the whole year....my dad passing away, friends moving away (both overseas and just away into a different life stage) and not really getting anywhere in terms of career.
But with the turning over of another calendar year, it's time for me to turn over a new leaf.
For 2013, my hope - and plan - is to PURSUE LIFE
with direction
with God at the helm
and the support of friends and family like wind in my sails
to ENJOY the frivolity of life
to have courage to face the storms
and above all,
be content to ride the waves of life
with no more complaining!
