I was going to write some kind of clever, sweet or inspiriting post.
Really. I was.
Then yesterday afternoon, when I normally write my posts, Wizard had an idea. It was freezing cold, so he lit a fire, put on a movie and poured wine for us.
So…um…what was I going to write about? I have no idea.
I blame Wizard!
This I do remember, I want to each of you how much you mean to me. You guys hung with me through a really tough year, particularly the first half of the year in dealing with BLB’s injury/recovery. I appreciate your support and all the laughs we shared. It truly kept me, BLB and Wizard going when we were all just so tired, and each day was an uphill struggle. Then I would write a post, trying to find something amusing to talk about, and suddenly it wasn’t all so grim. That is a gift from each of you that I will always remember. Thank you for being there. I truly mean that.
Let’s all raise a glass…
…to good friends who hold our hands through the dark days, wildly celebrate our bright days and are there every single day in between!
Happy New Year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
May it bring peace and happiness to us all :).
Jenn – That is such a lovely post. I think we all try to be there for each other in any way we can. Going along the journey with BLB’s injury and recovery was a honor. Even on hard days you would find a way to shine. The Bailey posts were always fun. He really took care of “his” boy.
I pray that 2013 is a smooth ride. I’m looking forward to all your yummy reads :).
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Awwww, Kat! You made me cry. In a good way, but still… *sniffle*
We have such a wonderful community here and I cherish each of you. I love hearing about your triumphs so I can cheer you on, and commiserate when things aren’t so good. Jen, you are a good friend and I wish only the best for you and yours in the upcoming year and always. That goes for everyone here! May 2013 bring you dreams coming true, peace and contentment. May you all be healthy, wealthy, and wise!

Thanks Jane! Same to you and yours!

Viki, thank you
Bailey was (and continues to be!) another bright spot. I loved him before that, but now that dog owns my heart. That kind of loyalty and unconditional love is priceless.
I know you had a rough year losing your brother in law. Let’s all hope for a year filled with more joy than sorrow.

B.E., you were a huge help to me in sharing your experience. It helped both myself and BLB getting a better grasp on how long the recovery would take. Even now, he continues to improve–it’s not actually his leg improving but his ability to move around the limitation. Something I know you understand very well
Congrats on joining Killer Chicks Blog! I just went over and bookmarked it. Your first blog is Monday, right?
Coffee totally rules! I may choose coffee over wine or alcohol tonight too. But the sentiment is the same whatever our choice of beverage!

Kat, I love reading your thoughts (I don’t consider them ramblings!). I think you bring a perspective with your work and family that most of us don’t experience as closely as you do. Always know you’re appreciated here!

Silver, thank you! You are an amazing friend. I was so glad I got to see you in Anaheim this year. You’ve been dealing with a lot of issues, yet you’ve had some great news with The Only’s job and by taking control of your career and self publishing. I’m proud of your accomplishments!

There is a reason I stop here first when I get on the computer in the wee hours of the morning. You guys are wonderful and I love you for all of the encouragement and kindness. I think Jenn has put together a very nice group of friends :). Thanks Jenn!
B. E. That is too freakin’ cool! Congratulations!
Kat – You are too funny :).
Happy New Year!
