I can’t believe 366 days have passed since I was sitting in my mother’s living room in Canada on New Year’s Eve 2011 holding my new and sweet little nephew. Is it just me or does time fly by when you’re a grown up? I mean, this past year my daughters’s celebrated their first decade of life and my grandmother her 9th decade of life! That’s crazy and wonderful at the same time.
2012 had some amazing moments (our Japan trip topping the list of course) and some sad moments. We lost someone special this year but gained many new friends as well. My kids learned about grief but also about happiness and joy. We are a lucky family.
And now it’s the last day of 2012 and we’re getting ready to celebrate the amazing year that has passed and to welcome the new one that is right around the corner. I have high high hopes for 2013. I think we all should. I’ll dedicate this year to making myself, my family, my friends and those in need HAPPIER. Easy as that.
Thanks to you all for your visits and comments to this little blog. It really does mean the world to me. And once I get this broken hand of mine healed I’ll be back here more regularly.
So enjoy your New Year’s Eve and all the best in 2013! Lots of love from Italy to you all, Jillian xxx
