therefore be at peace

Last year my resolution was about living my life to the fullest each day and loving everyone to the best of my abilities. I was coming off of a wedding high, and I was grieving the return of my dad's cancer. Last year, I was simply grateful for my friends and family and planned to spend 2012 holding them tight. I didn't know then what the year would bring, and I couldn't have guessed! It brought a number of weird health issues for John and I (which are being resolved and dealt with), and it also brought me my first nephew. I didn't know the expanse of my heart until I looked at him. Who knew? I seriously find myself just staring at pictures on my phone when I am not with him. He is the most perfect baby, no?

Strangely, I did not begin 2012 thinking it would be the year I got healthy, but it was! I was never one to have a cliche weight loss goal on January 1. I honestly liked the way I looked and liked Taco Bell, so I was cool. But, health issues brought me to the light... and here I am, beginning 2013 lighter and healthier.

This year, I do not plan to guess what life will bring me.
I will enter it faithfully and fearfully.
Like many others, I too want to pick a word for 2013 - peace.
