Ok I am just going to say it, say the things I want but don't have.
But first lets look at what I have.
For the last year, I have been looking at all I do have, grateful for what I have, and even more important what I have become.
I have become a good teacher, who teaches to not judge others, work hard and to be honest. Teaching the love of travel and fighting for what is right and never giving up. For the DOE, I have been a good employee , committed 110% to the job, coming to work, teaching the common core and any new lingo, keeping my students safe and learning.
I have been good to animals, saving the life of a shelter dog and supporting the rescue mission on Staten Island.
I have been a good member of my community, volunteering , helping to clean up , gather donations and distribute supplies and make internet connections.
I have been a good citizen, voting and staying aware, speaking out and participating .
I have been a good neighbor, being present in what it needs, being an advocate and speaking out for our block.
I have been contributing to our economy, paying my mortgage, spending and traveling and paying my taxes.
I have been funny and creative , writing blogs, doing standup .
I have been a good friend and family member, always available when in need.
I have been good to myself, getting regular checkups, not smoking and keeping me sane .
I have been spared, of random acts of violence, natural disasters, devastating health and loss of mind.
2012 for me has been a great year.
But:
Where is my husband , my child, my hip neighborhood, my cottage by the water, my size 10, my savings account, my comedy career, that great book and my greatness. Find out in 2013
Happy New Year Everyone
