As I rocked Grace to sleep for her morning nap, sitting in the dark quiet room made me reflect on this past year. Saying goodbye to 2013 is harder than I imagined. Soo much has happened to me this past year that the finality of it has my brain in overdrive. This year truly has been the year of Grace, as you all have witnessed the blossoming of my little girl but it was also that during this year I started to live graciously. Trying to stay present in every moment - whether it was good or bad, that was my mantra this year (and will be for 2014). And like most years, this one was filled with joyous moments that stopped me in my tracks. There were many lessons learned and then there were, of course those other moments that brought me to my knees crying. Throughout all these 2013 moments, I've learned to love deeper, to forgive faster, to work harder, to laugh louder, to cry more, and to brush myself off when I fall.
I look forward to 2014 to what it will bring for my family and friends - but I'm grateful for the memories in 2013. Here are a few of those moments captured.
Wishing you all a healthy and happy new year!
