I carefully avoided those year-end wrap-ups.

The stigma of “resolutions.”

But still…

As 2013 burgeons and develops…

With ugly, nasty January a moment in the past…

With so many things looming in the coming months…

A son 6 months away from a learners permit.

A novel I wrote releasing in 4 days.

A husband that is learning new ways to handle his bi-polar/depression.

Girls that are turning into real little people with tons of attitude.

I have to believe…

And say…

That for 2013 there is only one word that fits.

Change.
