Top Eleven of Twenty-Eleven

It never fails that the last couple of weeks in December and the first couple of weeks in January lends themselves to a time of reflection. I catch myself doing it as if it's second nature; I'll find myself reading back through old blog posts, comparing our then and now, and thinking about where we'll be this time next year.

I've enjoyed reading back through 2011, so much so, that I thought I would compile the top 11 posts from the year.  I read through each of these last night and couldn't believe how much has changed.  Two thousand eleven was a year of healing for me.  I was very inward-focused, stressed, worried, and full of anxiety and sadness.  It took good therapy, good friends, and God's grace to get me over the humps, and I look forward to 2012 being a year of giving it all back - getting more involved in my community and being more intentional in my relationships.

Twenty-twelve is going to be a good, good year - I can feel it.

So, without further ado...
