2012 was...

…a good year. It was the year I finished and published my first book and wrote my second. It was the year I got my first good review, and my first not-so-good review. I learned that, no matter how hard you try, you can’t please everyone— and shouldn’t try to. 2012 was the year I lost a brother, but gained a backbone. A little one at least… It was a year where I almost got away with not being sick, until Mother Nature was all like ‘Oh no you don’t!’ and struck with a vengeance. 2012 was the year I finally said goodbye to super skinny Casey, the end of an era. 2012 was the year the world did not end, for better or worse, depends on the day I had. The Walking Dead finally became good. Glee is bearable again. The Hobbit, Avengers, Game of Thrones met and or exceeded my expectations. Snow White and the Huntsman did not (Charlize Theron as the evil queen was amazing though). 2012 was a year for fashion and Pinterest, I like to think they have something to do with one another. And even though nothing exciting happened, 2012 was still a good year.

Happy New Years! And may 2013 be just as good or better!
