Bring it, 2013

Ultimately our 2012 ended on a high note. Perhaps the highest, because I'm not sure what trumps a sweet new baby, but it wasn't the easiest course to arrive there. We are all looking forward to a happy, healthy 2013 and wish nothing less than that for all of you.

I borrowed this from a blog I read and I think it is a good reminder as we wind down the year ...

"It is a miracle if you can find true friends, and it is a miracle if you have enough food to eat, and it is a miracle if you get to spend your days and evenings doing whatever it is you like to do, and the holiday season—like all the other seasons—is a good time not only to tell stories of miracles, but to think about the miracles in your own life, and to be grateful for them." —Lemony Snicket, The Lump of Coal
