| When he shall die, take him and cut him out in little stars, and he shall make the face of Heaven so fine, that all the world will be in love with night, and pay no worship to the garish sun. My Guardian Angel, Grandpa |

A Reflection on 2012
As I look back on 2012, I realize it was a year devoid of blogging, however full of accomplishments, change, growth, solitude, and love. Hopefully 2013 will bring more writing, but for now, here's my 2012...
Pastime. Family history discussions; 3 hour phone calls.
Lesson Learned: Listen. React before responding.
Food. Prosciutto.
Friend. Peyton.
TV Show. Mad Men, Big Love.
Song. Flying Overseas, Sentimental Lady.
Book. Dead Man Walking.
Companion. Bryan.
Guilty Pleasure. Housewives, Kardashians.
Obsession. The Kennedy family, Jo Malone.
Quote. When he shall die, take him and cut him out in little stars, and he shall make the face of Heaven so fine, that all the world will be in love with night, and pay no worship to the garish sun. - Shakespeare
Takeaway. Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let the pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place. - Kurt Vonnegut
It's been a crazy year. Thank you, God, for blessing me with so much more than I deserve.
