I'm baaaack!

Yes, it's been OVER a year since I last wrote.  Lots of interesting things happening during the past 12 months.  I have survived all the holidays, another birthday, a new job & the addition of many more gray hairs.  Thankfully it has been an emotionally trying but healing year for me as well.  The 1-year anniversary of the death of a my mother-in-law, a good friend & one of my precious wee aunties came and went, and I'm still moving forward.  The 2-year anniversaries of the death of many family & friends happened as well, and here I am.  As I sit here at the beginning of yet another new year I can't help but look back to all that I have overcome, but I need to shake all that nostalgia off and focus on the future.  The past is gone, but the future is full of possibilities.  How far will I have come in another year, when I look back at 2014 and review all that has happened?  I don't have any New Year's resolutions (that's just asking for failure, in my humble opinion), but I have goals that I want to work towards.  I don't want to just "lose weight", but I want to start being healthy.

I don't want to rush through this brand new year, but I can't wait to see what I can do!  What about you?  What do you hope to accomplish in 2014?
