From domestic changes, professional challenges and unplanned adjustments, to exciting meals, picturesque cocktails and memorable dress-up events, this past year earns its chapter in my personal history as one of, shall we say, unique growth– literally and otherwise!  Suffice to say, no two 365-day increments are exactly alike, thankfully enough.  While a grand total of 4708 miles in the bicycle saddle call out to be surpassed in the coming months, various opportunities, strategies and decisions– those unmistakable elements that constitute overall life satisfaction– will only get better.  “The best is yet to come,” after all.  Altogether, taking the good with the not-so, may we all toast with a smile to our better moments of 2012.  Happy New Year & Cheers!
