My Last OLW Reflection of 2012

I think I wrote this post at least 10 times in my head...I tend to write virtually throughout my day. There were so many ideas. First, I was going to do a round up of all 12 month reflections but then I decided against that.  Next I considered blogging about my family and how without the support of my husband, son, and daughter I would not be where I am today. But I realized this is something I wanted to do privately, so I expressed my gratitude on Christmas Day. Then I thought about thanking all my "cheerleaders" those friends and family who know me better than I know myself. I need to thank my constant cheerleaders for 49 years: thanks mom and dad.  The colleagues at work that can read my face before I even know what I am going to say. My friends in our hometown that always seem to call me at just the right time to check on me. To my twitter friends who support me with great tweets and amazing links.  I hope I say thank you enough although can we every say "thanks" enough really? So thank you to all my Dublin, NCFL, twitter, and Ostrander friends.  Again without you, I know 2012 would not have been the same.  Finally I have decided that my last post of the year will be in photos. Thanks for an amazing 2012 and check back in 2013.
