But you sure can't take away my soul

I'm preempting the Top 12 of '12 for the last TGI of the year.  I was debating if this was going to happen tonight or tomorrow, but I then remembered it is the last one of the year.  The fact that I have an admission coming in the next hour just means it would be silly to go to bed anyway...so, here we are, TGI 2012 wrap-up.

Today I am trusting this shift that I have felt away from fear and towards curiosity over the last several months.  Being curious is far more interesting than being afraid, right?

Today I am grateful for more things than I'm able to succinctly list.  Kita, Tucker, and Belle!  My home, and the fact that Daddy lives a mile away when I need help here.  The personal and professional opportunities I've had this year, all of which have resulted in SO much growth.  Words.  Music.  Spirit.  Love.  My friends, who never cease to amaze me with their goodness and kindness and tolerance of my goofiness and my Don Quixote-like ideas.

Today I am inspired  by what I've learned about asking for help.  Not only does it ease great struggle (which isn't actually mandatory in this life unless you choose for it to be), I'm also learning that sometimes that help gets you into a place you never, ever would have otherwise landed (in a good way).  

And that, friends, is what I'm taking forward from 2012.  I can't wait I'm curious to see what 2013 brings, and I'm excited to have many of you along for the adventure.



Now listening:   Jay Farrar "Careless Reckless Love" (New Multitudes narrowly missed the Top 12 of '12, so I thoughts I would throw a bit in here)
