2011

One of my many sources of motivational and self-help material posed this good exercise the other day: sum up your year in a newspaper headline.



Woman, 55, Publishes* Novel, Loses 60 Lbs, Sells Car, Takes UK Vacation, Decides To Retire

If 2012 can improve on 2011, I'll be thrilled.

Happy New Year, everyone.

And I just got a refill. Cheers!

In the spirit of taking stock of the year, I'm very glad I stumbled across your journal this year. Every post you make brings a smile to my face.

Thank you. I have high hopes.

Thank you. I don't think that's necessarily true, but it was sweet of you to say.
