I'm not one for resolutions because I never succeed at resolving. That said, I do find inspiration in the start of a new year. I do find myself contemplating the things I can do to improve myself and to better the world. But I think about that kind of stuff constantly, especially after having Cole. Having a child, especially a child with unique needs and abilities, has made me more aware of both the brightest and bleakest things and people. It has also made me more inclined to try to be among the brightest - to be kinder, more mindful, and more tolerant.
This year finds my family embarking on a great many changes. I don't where they'll lead or how things will wind up but I relish the journey and I'm looking forward to the uncertainty even if it scares me as much as excites me.
