to the year of twenty twelve.

{december 2011.}

to fresh baked bread gracing our table

to making people laugh so hard you think they might actually pee their pants

to jumping and skipping and everything else that makes walking fancy

to beers and football with the people you admire

to phone calls and skyping with those who are far, but helped shape you in unbelievable ways

to apologies and forgiveness when just

but never apologizing for who you are, or what you feel

to new alter egos that help you get stuff done*

to tv marathons and yoga pants being used for everything except yoga

to running, maybe just a few minutes every now and then, but running nonetheless

to blogging and tweeting and everything that makes you happy and sharing it all with the ones you love

to finishing what you started, to planning ahead, to saving your pennies for the next big adventure that just so happens to be right.around.the corner.

but above all

to love.
