Goodbye and Good Riddance 2012: If the world doesn't end, I'm going to need a note

Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. 2012--better luck next time.

Mr. Scola’s wardrobe by Botany 500

SailAweigh! I got the comics, I’ve just been slacking posting about it here. THANK YOU!

I started to write this long post about 2012, but suffice to say that I’m in a better place than where I was a year ago, but nowhere near where I’d like to be, so I’ll have to try much harder in 2013.

I also took some nice pictures in 2012, but there’s plenty of room for improvement there, too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's great.

Oh, yay, Tom! To all three things. I love your photography and I think I'd add a lot more pictures to your "best of."

sarameg, that was a lovely post. I think I need to bookmark it so I can go back to it when I need to remind myself that "I can."

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

In 2012 I laid some ghosts to rest and fell back in love with northern MI (lower peninsula). Job bots have been initiated (with help from Strix's resume mojo). Now that that's done I'm really appreciating my localistas, so no matter what happens I'll be happy.

My current job is pretty good, my neighbors are delightful, and my family seems healthy. I'm calling 2012 a win.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

2012 was a good year for me, for the most part. I've had some issues with my anxiety, some of which is chemical, but some of which has been very much situational (see below).

The job is going well, although November kicked into high stress mode and a near nervous collapse thanks to discovering that a co-worker's inaction meant that three months of work had been sitting undone with the rest of us thinking it was being attended to. Still, all went well, and the way that the crisis resolved reaffirmed that I'm working in the right place.

Also, I got the promotion I had been hoping for and passed my securities licensing exams.

I'm still doing a lot of strength training, which I adore. I've never really liked exercise or any sort of sport, but this is something I actively enjoy.

Best of all, I have been getting back into doing my artwork in a big way, which has been a balm to my soul. (Latest project)

Excellent work, Anne!

Thank you! I've been having huge amounts of fun with it.

Good for you, Anne.

I keep re-reading Hanne's blog and misting up. Just.so.apt.
