2012

December 31, 2012.......last few hours of the year.  I don't do resolutions......but many of you will recall, I do vision boards.  When the new one is done, I  will post a picture of it.

2012......for me has been a year of tests, of struggles, a year of life staring me in the face and daring me to practice what I teach.  It started with a call from my lung doc in December of 2011, it went into a
speeding slide with the introduction of a hematologist/oncologist in January 2012.......a diagnosis of an immune system that had failed miserably and the recommendation of  open-ended infusion treatments.   And all the doctor visits, and side-effects and meds in between.

But, I met some of the strongest, kindest people in the world in those big green chairs.....and sadly said goodbye to some of them.  I have truly learned that all we have is today.......
I have learned that you  can do "all the right things" and still have serious health issues.

I have said goodbye to three of my most precious furry friends who had been with me for years, and also said goodbye to several human friends.  I have learned that naps are one of my most valuable resources and that my husband Rick is strong and brave.

I have learned that music and art give me peace, that teaching yoga gives me more, than it gives my students.  Most of all, I have learned that I am loved......and that these four words "this too shall pass" are true.

I don't think much about the future anymore,  I just pray that every day .......we all receive our portion of grace......Happy New Year.
