Strength.

I meant to write yesterday, to christen 2012 with a shiny, new blog entry, but instead I spent it doing all those things I was so resolute to do less than 24 hours before. I cleaned and organized my living room. I cooked pork chops with sauerkraut and apples. I took a shower with my girlfriend. I enjoyed being in the moment, even starting to clean my daughter's room before she gets home tomorrow. It was a relaxing and productive day.

I don't know what the rest of 2012 is going to bring. But what I do know is that I finally feel strong enough to handle it.
