There are many things to be grateful for.

Life IS a sine wave. Every year gives you ups and downs, and 2012 was not the exception. Today, I humbly feel gratitude for the biggest joys of the year:

The kids thriving. Special kudos to E–the senior who is also the new kid. (He IS like John Elway!)

The book is (almost) finished! PLUS New ideas and books are finding their way to the page. My class continues to be rewarding and exciting.

Moving to Evanston, Illinois. We are so happy to be part of this community. We could not have found a more perfect place to live!

Goals come next!

Then the resolutions!

Thanks to all our friends–on all coasts! xos
