Fate's 2012 Resolutions Recap

I can save the vast majority of typing here with one word: FAIL.

My resolutions this past year went to hell pretty quick.  I could give a list of excuses, but I'll save it.  Suffice it to say, I've been looking inward and have reached a few conclusions about moving forward again. :-)  Fin and I both, I think, spent much of the year simply trying to recover from the previous whirlwinds of activity.  Isn't that the way life goes?

The biggest wins according my resolution list where in music.  This year I played in several public recitals, as well as a few times in public.  While I didn't complete 3 Chopin pieces, I mastered one, started a second, and move on to multiple other difficult pieces (mostly Bach).

My relationship with Fin continued growing over the past year.  Out of everything over the past year, I'm happiest that we have managed to get stronger as a couple.

Now, on toward 2013, and time to rethink goals now that the world didn't end.

Posting again

Seems that I have a habit of posting for a bit then completely ignoring the blog for long stretches of time.  This time there was a mis-communication on moving the blog from blogspot to our own domain and then going to Wordpress for posting.  I wasn't sure that actually ever got set up and then I was told I could post from blogspot still....by that time I had already kinda lost interest in the blog and just never got around to posting again. 

Obviously.

Well, yet again, I am back to posting and this time hopefully I can keep it up more regularly in the coming year. 

I think the end of the old year and the start of the new really make me think about posting.  I always have all these ideas that I want to do and talk about, especially during the cold month while I shut myself inside and wait for spring to arrive. 

So much has changed this year going into 2013 I am still trying to wrap my head around it.  Soon I will be putting together my seed order for the year and another garden season will be started.  I am hoping to get tomatoes and peppers in seed pots by Feb 1.  Guess I need to get myself in gear and find somewhere to put them!
