I didn't want to let the new year come and go without posting anything. I had actually hoped to sit down a right a proper entry for it. It's almost 10pm now though and I find myself just finally getting settled in for the day. I took all three kids skating while I worked from 7pm - 9pm tonight and they were all pretty tired and grumpy not only on the way home but also while getting into bed.

2011 has been a big year for me. I've cemented my understanding of a lot of lessons that have been taught to me over previous years and also obviously failed to learn some other lessons but I'm still working on those, maybe 2012 will be the year for those ones.
I've gone from trying to be someone I thought I was supposed to be to actually acknowledging myself and being who I want to be. I've had it pretty good compared to other people out there whose stories I hear about or the people that I now know but I've had my own struggles and those struggled continue I just keep getting more and more prepared to handle the ones that do come along.
I feel like I have accomplished a lot in the last year and I feel like the possibilities for the next year are boundless. I've gone from owning up to being trans* to really staring into the face of being able to make legitimate steps forward. Testosterone is in my future this year and I've also been scheming on how to start collecting funds for top surgery.
There are improvements that can be made but I'm very happy with how I'm entering into the new year. They say the way the year starts is the way it will end. My year is starting with all of my children at home, money in the bank, friends who care about me sending me messages, stopping by and honking at me on the street.
So, a warm fair well to 2011 and an excited hello to 2012
