Looking back on 2011 and ahead to 2012


I've got to admit: 2011 was a mixed bag for me. There were really great things that happened, and there were really crappy things, too. I started off the year very ill and having major surgery that kept me out of work for two months, but I ended it as a published author. Talk about extremes :)

I'm hoping 2012 is a little more even, a little less of a roller coaster. Becca, one of my fellow Book Bunnies, suggested a way to take a look back and another ahead. Here are my answers:

What I learned in 2011

  1. There is a limit to what I can endure on my own. 
  2. My friends and family are always behind me. 
  3. Not everyone gets me, but that’s okay. 

Hopes for 2012

  1. Publish another book
  2. Participate in my first walk for the CCFA
  3. Ride the Natchez Trace Parkway from Alabama to Nashville on the back of my husband’s Harley

Best books I read in 2011

That's another post :)

What am I most looking forward to in 2012

  1. My first trip to Gatlinburg with my hubby and my friends
  2. My SIL’s wedding
  3. The release of A Million Suns by Beth Revis

Things I'm most proud of myself for achieving in 2011

  1. Getting through my surgery and making it back to my normal daily life
  2. Publishing my first book
  3. Publishing my first short story

How was your 2011? What are your hopes for 2012?

Kerry, your 2011 sounded outstanding; good for you.

In 2011, I discovered many new authors, including you! I also discovered many new book review blog sites.

For 2012, for each new author I discover, I want to read at least one of their works. Start yoga, again. Do volunteer woork at a nursing home.

Here's to 2012!

Thanks,
Tracey D

Sounds like your year got better as it went along. That's a good sign. Hope this year is going well, too.
