And here we are again. The end of another year. Kissing two thousand twelve goodbye. Praying two thousand thirteen will be kind.
I said ( on multiple occasions ) the world can’t end 12-21-12 because the world needs to end on a high note and this is not the year for it. Two thousand twelve, my year of heartbreak and tears, my year of joy and belly laughs, my year of family and friends, my year of change, my year of cliché filled blogs.

So here, in not particular order, is my list of two thousand twelve and some of the joys that it brought.
