2012 in review

I will forever look back on 2012 with fondness. For it brought with it so much joy and love, and truly enriched our lives.

More than anything, I feel that 2012 represented growth.

Physical growth - that saw my body gain with pregnancy, and then lose afterwards. That saw my ‘baby bump’ turn into squishy newborn, and then into a crawling, eating, standing energetic 10 month old.

And, moreso, 2012 represented emotional growth.

My transition to mother of one. From full time office worker, to part-time worker from home. Our transition from couple, to parents.

I learnt about sleeplessness. About caring for a baby. About caring for myself.

I learnt about the importance of family, and reminded how wonderful my family really is.

I learnt more about love than I ever thought possible.

I travelled, I ran, I biked. We attended parties. We had FUN!

So as we find ourselves at the beginning of a new year, it feels so very appropriate to take a look back at the year that was.

So what are my ‘goals’ for 2013. Truthfully, I think they are much the same as last year.

• Be involved
• Be active
• Be adventurous
• Be kind
• Be patient

What about you? What are your goals for 2013?
