RIP 2011

I can't believe it's been a whole year since my last post. A lot has happened to me in the last year. It hasn't all been good. It's been a struggle dealing with depression and illness. I'm glad to say that I'm on the mend and back on track. I will be so happy when that clock strikes 12 and I can kiss this horrible year goodbye. I'm looking forward to 2012. I'm optimistic and ready to move on with life. My only New Year's resolution to try to maintain my health and have a positive outlook on life. I'm ready for it.
