2012 -- 1 day down, 365 to go

So today went fairly well . . . until it didn't.

One day into the new year and I'm already looking forward to 2013.  I almost cried when I realized that this is a leap year.  I don't know if I can take an extra day.

I'm probably being a little bit overly dramatic, but not by much.  This afternoon I read a blog post where the author was so excited to see what God has in store for her this year.  I know this woman, so I do believe that she is genuinely eager for what lies ahead.  Unfortunately I can't (at this point) share her enthusiasm.

I remember January of 2010.  I was excited for the new year and I was definitely excited about going to Disney World in the middle of the month with G.  The day we flew back home, the world that I knew and loved fell apart and 2010 went on to be the Worst.Year.Ever.  Even the challenges of 2011 pale in comparison to the horrors of 2010.

Maybe it's a good sign (not that I believe in signs) that 2012 hasn't started off all that great.  At least there will be room for improvement. 

On a positive note, I only swore twice today.  That might be a record.  And I only swore once after the day went south, so I had a small degree of self-control in a crappy situation.  That is worthy of at least half a gold star.
