If I had one word to describe how I feel about my 2011, that would be it.
Amazed, because I remember standing in front of my mirror on January 1, 2011, and for some reason that I didn't understand at the time, promising myself that 2011 was going to be one of the best years I'd ever had.
Amazed, because it seemed highly unlikely to me at the time - and yet it turned out to be true.
Yes, there is a backstory to this. It is a story that I am preparing to tell, once I've gathered the right words, the right courage, the right perspective to do so.
For now, let's just celebrate the year. A lot of good happened around the world, despite the fact that most of what comes to mind are sad stories. That's the fault of the media, not an accurate representation of the real balance between good and bad. So tonight, raise a glass. No, your 2011 wasn't perfect. But you did something right, because here you are. You made it through whatever happened.
I wish you all the best things in 2012. And I hope the year comes when you look back and feel incredibly grateful, joyful and amazed that it turned out the way it did.
