Trials and Tribulations

I never really picked a theme this year.

Usually for New Year's I have a theme of the year.  Like "Contentment" or "Faith".

Didn't choose one for this year.

Kind of wish I had.

I think one chose me.

Or two.

Or maybe three if you count "and".

Trials and tribulations.

I realize my trials pale in comparison to so many others.

But they are trials nonetheless.

Some parenting.

Some school/work.

Some spiritual.

Trials.

The kind that make me long for heaven.

The ones that make me feel like an alien here on on earth...this earth is not my home.

And maybe that is the point.

I don't know.

But I still wish I had gone with a fun word for 2012...
