Only two more days left in 2012. I feel like an old fogey when I hear myself utter phrases like “Where did the year go?”

And where the heck DID this year go? 2012 was a very full year for me, for our family. Our kids got bigger and bolder. We moved across country and explored new terrain. I kissed my dance career goodbye. My thighs have achieved maximum density.
As I look to 2013, I am slowly contemplating some resolutions. Or lifestyle changes. I haven’t solidified them yet, but the gist at the moment is less junk, more spunk.
In the spirit of reflection, I took a look back at my favorite blog posts from the past year. Here’s a list of some of the posts I enjoyed writing the most. The ones that stuck with me. Perhaps they will with you too!
Top Posts From 2012…
Don’t mess with Mama bear…: An article made me reevaluate gender roles as parents and made me realize I want my kids to see I’m just as strong and capable as Daddy.
Time out…: Our first night away from the kids in almost two years didn’t go as well as I’d hoped.
Clean up, clean up, everybody clean up…: An attempt to de-clutter our cramped home to put on the market. With small children around.
Bunny hills…: My ankles and hips still cringe at the though of my first ski experience. May I never see a ski slope again.
Letting go…: I don’t want my kids to grow up yet. That includes forcing them to use baby products so I can get off on the smell of Dreft.
Ode to humidity…: My first foray into Shakespearean ranting.
Adventures in babysitters…: Do NOT hire this chick to watch your kids.
Pounding the pavement…: One foot in front of the other. Moving forward.
Getting a leg up…: Attempting to navigate my dancing hiatus, one pound at a time.
Quick get away…: Have you had episodes of G.A.G?

And to close, I say this:
Move over, 2012. There’s something more 2013′ier.

I started to tell my ‘story into beading’ this year by blogging. I wrote about 9 blogs & people found them inspirational, informative & likable. We all agree that I’m an AGELESS EXPLORER OVER 72. My favorite is my most recent & it is about SLEEP. Some people didn’t understand its relationship to my making jewelry. They missed the whole point. We all know that if you don’t sleep, you don’t bead, or read, or cook or nook or drive or thrive (sorry-didn’t mean to rhyme- it just happened) Bottom line is- I reinvented myself at an advanced age & hope that people get that it is never too late to start again, find your passion or discover a hidden talent.
