What Do You Want to Not Forget (Because You Want to Remember it Fully) from 2012

Hope asks her group of Reverb12 folks to do this: 

Name Five things I want to remember from 2012.

1. 1.       The way it felt to be cheated on… or to find out I was being cheated on… by someone I never dreamed would cheat on me. I want to remember this so that I will never, ever, ever feel it again and yes – the person in question is still in my life. We are working through it and if this is stupid of me, I will know soon enough and will save our grand finale as a birthday gift to myself.
2. 2.       I don’t want to forget running through downtown between shows I was in. I put my costume for Marat/Sade on in one theater and with my curly hair flying I ran in corset, layers of layers and jumped in my car to get to that next theater. It is the closest to being Cinderella I will ever get.
3. 3.       I do not want to forget being in Mesa Verde National Park with my children.
4. 4.       I do not want to forget Emma’s continuing success in school, especially when she won the statewide journalism award.
5. 5.       I do not want to forget how it feels to have Katherine in Scotland for a semester and the fact I now wish she could stay longer, for her own sake. I don’t like having six thousand miles, a continent and an ocean between us, but I certainly hope she is sucking the marrow out of each moment in Edinburgh and beyond.
