And So It Closes

I can't begin to summarize this year: it's dealt more new challenges and loss than I've digested before.  Because much of the year still lies in fog, I can't put it in a box and wrap a bow on it for you (or even for myself).  I know what I've learned, and what I will continue to learn from 2013 will grow as the years go forward.  

I've also learned what I know doesn't have to match my unpredictable emotions.
