And so, the end is near…..

The end of 2011 is nigh, so it's time to reflect on the year that been. There's been the usual highs and lows, good times and bad. There's been laughter and tears (and some of those tears have come from laughter!), get ups and put downs too many to mention.

There's been changes positive and negative, relationships made and broken. There's been a host of new people in my life, some who have become good friends. Other's have been lost and, in some cases, refound.

There's too many people for me to mention, but you'll know who you are. To anyone who's believed in me these past 12 months, thank you. To those of you who have supported me through thick and thin, thank you. It's meant so much. To the ones who have listened when I've moaned, whined or generally complained and never uttered a word, thank you. To those that have put me down, thank you. I'm now a stronger person for it. And finally, to the people who make the world a little brighter, thank you. Keep shining your light into the world.

I'm already looking forward to 2012 with plans already in place. Some of them might be crazy, but you only get one life. And sometimes being that little bit crazy helps. Bring on 2012!
