The shocking thing is, I can't believe I wrote these things this year. They feel like a million years ago. One thing I learned this year: Depression, for me, makes time speed up. I keep thinking that things that happened in May happened in 2010 or 2009.
So here we go... 2011 Bloggy Highlights
Last December
A freak snowstorm confirms Sting's claim that we're not alone at being alone.
January
My Political Correctness series. I finally got sick and tired of white people saying "Well we don't get offended when people make fun of us!" And also "Everyone's so sensitive these days" whenever someone suggested they act with a modicum of respect for other people.
February
A tribute to Fernando's foster parents. They had a tough year--he had both legs amputated because of diabetes complications, and at one point they were both in the hospital. But last I saw on facebook, they were still hugging and kissing at their 50th anniversary party.
March
My Joseph Campbell viewing-your-life-as-a-hero's-journey post. Cause I felt there were a lot of us this year who needed to the encouragement. ...Still the case, unfortunately!
April
I posted my first cartoon, to the theme of Choose Life.

I made a commitment to Imperfection.
And said farewell to my Trivial Buttonhole blog.

A wedding saved me the weekend Amy Winehouse and many Norway kids died.

A week of posts about optimism, which led (by the way) to Ms Brownlow sending me stories about Oliver teh Cat and Chloe.

We began the story of guess who!

Some good simple advice.
