Is it just me or did 2012 fly by at an alarming rate?!  Not that I am complaining - in fact, I'm happy to see it end - but hot damn, this year went by fast!  

Tis the season for reflecting upon the past and setting New Year's Resolutions for the year ahead. 

New Year's Resolution
commitment that a person makes to one or more personal goals, projects, or the reforming of a habit. A key element to a New Year's resolution that sets it apart from other resolutions is that it is made in anticipation of the New Year and new beginnings. 

Cyberspace is buzzing with sugar coated pep talks encouraging readers to set their annual New Years resolutions, which more often than not, pertain to lifestyle a change, but I know you aren't expecting to find that fuckery here.  Not that I frown upon committing to the achievement to ones personal's goal, cause I don't.  And its' not that I don't believe in you, cause I do.  And I have total faith that you can achieve whatever it is you set your mind too, cause you can, but I am realist and thus calling it like it see it (and by it, I mean New Year's Resolution Success Rate Statistics) ....  
Picture
Disheartening statistics and anti-resolution speeches aside, it should be noted that I whole heatedly agree with the reflecting on the past aspect of the new year, as it serves as a means of re-evaluating ones needs and assessing whether or not the direction your headed in is complimentary to getting said needs met.  Along with this, I'm all for setting personal goals, thus if the new year is when you would like to do your reflecting and setting then by all means ...

As for myself, I did my fair share of reflecting on the ups and downs of the past year, and while I wouldn't say 2012 was a bad year, it wasn't much to write home about either. 
Picture
I won't bore you with a rehash of the gruesome details but it's worth noting that life slapped me around with several valuable - and much needed - life lessons along the way, one of which I seem to have had a diversion to initially learning. That particular gain is worth writing home about., or at least worth blogging about, as I can honestly say I feel good about it.

and on that note, I'm off like a prom dress!
