I hope to come back and add more events and detail to this review, but for now, here is a quick summary of blessings.
January 2012- A new year is a new opportunity. I accepted a job directing a musical. (I later dropped the job for very good reasons.) I started teaching two classes- to upper classmen-- in my major! I loved that! A trip to Chicago--always fun.
My mom, who had moved in with Dear Husband K and me following a series of surgeries, found in January that she had recovered from her surgeries and was able to move back to her own home!
February 2012- I signed a contract to teach Intro to Theatre online for the Spring semester
March 2012- Dear Husband K and I made a road trip south to see Dear Daughter's play win an award in Tennessee and then visit my dad and his wife on the Alabama Gulf Coast.
April 2012- I resigned from the directing job for good reasons. My mom had another great report from her doctor.
May 2012- I had a fantastic Mother's Day. A trip to Chicago to see my kids perform their music. A trip to Pittsburgh to attend the wedding of one of my alterna-kids. And... he just couldn't wait... in the small hours of May 31, my first grandchild was born a bit earlier than anticipated!
June 2012- We learned my grandson's name at his bris. We saw lots of our favorite people when they came in to town to meet our grandson. I had a trip to NYC to see a play I may direct in the Midwest, and stayed with one of my alterna-kids- who asked me to officiate at her wedding!
July 2012- After DH K's hernia surgery, and several procedures for me, we learned he and I had a clean bill of health.
August 2012- Great visits with DH K's goddaughter and her family, and with one of my alterna-kids and her fiance
September 2012- I started babysitting for my grandson once a week. Such a treat!
October 2012- Celebrated my mom's 75th birthday.
November 2012- Another wedding trip, this time to Cinncinnati. Went to Chicago to see Dear Son A in a play, and saw another play as well-- a gift from DS A, Dear Daughter C and her Significant Other K. Another great Thanksgiving. Then a rockin' concert of DD C and her SO K at a local cafe. ALSO participated in NaNoWriMo and wrote a novel. And started helping out in DH K's department (finance) at the local K-8 school where he is an administrator.
December 2012- Triumphed over bureaucracy as I helped my sister and her hubby with difficult paperwork in applying for various kinds of assistance due to his illness. We covered all the gift bases. We made it through another year, a challenging year.
I feel stronger already.
