Favorites for 2011

This last one is my favorite for the year.  It has been the hardest year of my marriage.  I can honestly say I never thought I could feel the way I do right now, this past spring.  I love Bill more now than I ever have, but man, it was hard.  I know a lot of people don't talk about such personal things but I don't really give a crap.  This is my life.  It's hard and complicated some times.  I like to take pretty pictures and make pretty things but that isn't my life everyday.  I have a real life.  Which means there are real problems too.

 So many things have happened this year, so many things have changed.  I feel like I am in a different place as a wife and a mother.  My business is doing amazingly well and I am kicking around the idea of expanding.  We'll see.  I am working more now than ever and yet I have so much energy and am really inspired creatively.  I have a million ideas in my head and not having the time to try them actually inspires me all the more.   I have high hopes (low expectations) for the next year.  There are no promises are there?  We must take each day as it comes, to see it as a gift.  Live a life to be proud of, no matter what our circumstances.  Cheers to that.  Happy 2012.
