I'm so sorry for all of the struggles you walked through in 2011; but, I'm so happy that you have risen above it all and are walking confidently into the new year. Reach. What a fabulous word! May you be abundantly blessed in 2012 as all of the love and blessings you bestow upon on others daily come back to you 1000 fold. Love you!Candacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16327344027557036250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2936274878233831004.post-80460759095871296422012-01-02T16:23:58.121-05:002012-01-02T16:23:58.121-05:00Your post was very touching and very true.

It's hardest to nurture ourselves than our loved ones (I write this as I've been up all night caring for my ill 19 year old son). <br /><br />I like your new word. Reach is a good goal for 2012. I don't ever make resolution or words for the year, but I find what others choose, an opportunity to reflect.lindalouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15755899109658475423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2936274878233831004.post-12733914426525791152012-01-02T14:45:05.889-05:002012-01-02T14:45:05.889-05:00Sometimes it is difficult to leave an appropriate ...Sometimes it is difficult to leave an appropriate comment when a post is just SO GOOD. This is one of those times. I hope that you have been keeping up with the HERE'S TO YOU posts. I have them going Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (so far) and there is some really good stuff in there. I know that you will REACH in there and find yourself if you will but look. You, my dear, are blessed with this thing we call character in abundance. I am blessed to know you.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2936274878233831004.post-37351128203322132892012-01-02T13:05:17.430-05:002012-01-02T13:05:17.430-05:00You are an inspiration to so many, Mary!

Do we give with no thought of our own well-being or at what point do we put ourselves first, if ever? I'm still working on the answer too, but the journey is very valuable in itself.<br /><br />I hope 2012 is very good to you Mary. You deserve all the goodness this life can offer.

I'm so sorry that 2011 was so hard for you - although I know you aren't looking for "sorrys". I now understand what you meant when you said you hadn't determined how to best communicate your new word (or something like that). You did such an amazing job, my dear friend. I sending you such hugs and love right now - here's to an amazing new year! May you reach whatever your heart desires!
