So the end of 2011 has come and that means my traditional year in review.  I thought it might be fun to do something different this year by going through each month and citing one good and one bad memory I’ll take with me.  When I say bad I mean more challenging or difficult.  So here goes…

	Good 🙂	Bad 😦
January	Watched Sherlock on BBC and loved it	Fell Down a Flight of Stairs/ Turn 30
February	Make great strides in PCOS treatment	Receover From Fall
March	Work Success	Difficult Victoza Response
April	Royal Wedding	Diabetes Diagnosis (then diagnosis lessened)
May	Mom in Town	Strabismus Surgery
June	Surfing in Hawaii	Exercise Pains and Struggles
July	Family Reunion	Difficult Preparations for Open Water Swims
August	Deer Creek Swim	Bad Date
September	DC Visit	Sore Throats
October	Slam the Dam	Fibromyalgia Diagnosis
November	Thanksgiving at My Parents	Tonsilitis
December	Christmas Activities and Traditions	Start of Poler (also great blessing)

Let’s hope for a 2012 with few struggles and tons of joy! Of course, we often find the greatest joy in overcoming the struggles…Still, a little breather might be nice!  Either way I am sure it will be full of growth and discovery.

It starts off with a bang.  In January I have to change my wards into the mid-singles ward.  It will be a lot of change which I am not a fan of but it will be a great opportunity to meet new people and get out of my comfort zone.  I also look forward to 3 open water swims this summer but will probably not get a big trip (have to spend money on trainers rather than plane tickets!).
