I wish you all things good (even when they don't seem so good at first... you know, silver linings and all that) this coming year, sweet Gigi. It's been so nice visiting you again after being away for so long. I've missed you. xoJaimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04803308252202460126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968803817110676732.post-67985150308174412982013-01-04T23:33:40.880-05:002013-01-04T23:33:40.880-05:00Like the header change.

This is something I have been talking to my artist/writer son as he talks about the last of a project being so much harder than the earlier part. For me it reminds me of myself as I get older having more fear to put myself out there to do uncomfortable things. This week I realized I was having a difficult time getting several things done and pushed myself to do them. I knew I needed to challenge myself to move forward. It is scary some times.<br />I do hope you are feeling better now. The bug is certainly catching alot of people.Marilyn Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13115440271615593122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968803817110676732.post-25784830605060962592013-01-04T07:52:14.477-05:002013-01-04T07:52:14.477-05:00I think persevere is a perfect word.
