It is now 2012. I have changed jobs, wrecked my car, painted the apartment and traveled to my daughters graduation in 2011. I have no idea where the days and weeks went. I feel like I need to do better at checking in with friends. I don't think the world is going to e n d on December 12, 2012 but I have a feeling this year will mark the beginning of SOMETHING better. I feel like I live for the summer so I can see my brother and his children. I hope to see my other half-brothers this summer also- since I am the poor sibling, they will have to travel to see us here in Maine. I just hope my Dad stays with us so he can see them too.
