Default 2012 in 201.2 seconds

Brings back some good memories but unfortunately, some sad ones as well.

Unfortunately, more bad news than good.

One can hope that 2013 will be a better year.. but one also have to fear that 2013 could be even worse.

2012 kinda sucked for me and my family, but we also recognize that it could have been worse.

It was near the end when recent tragic events were aired that the sadness finally hit home for me.

We have to remember that a lot of good deeds don't make the news, because that doesn't sell as well as the bad bews.

There are a lot of good people out there, who will bend over backwards to help someone out, look at all the good work being done by volunteers in your own area, it will make you feel better. It did for me.
