I do love all the celebrating at the end of the year but it is so good to get back to some sense of normality again. It is always so crazy over Christmas and New Year. I love January for its calmness, I know some people find it a bit depressing but I like to think of the beginning of the year as a time to re-group and de-stress... and appreciate some time out........ just chill for a while and enjoy being.....
Last year I started to make some changes, not consiously but they just seemed to happen....
Normally I make grand sweeping statements at the beginning of a New Year, lots of New Years Resolutions, I will do this... I will stop that... I must accomplish this etc.... but this year my view is very different. I have been writing list of things to do for years and I had kept them, many many lists, sometimes I would go through them to see what I should have done and all it would do is make me down and depressed about all these things I had not achieved..... many years of torturing myself with my own disappointments.... Then last year I just threw them all away.... Yaaaah! What a release that was.... For some reason I had been scared of letting go in case there was something important that I would forget to do..... Ha! If I had not done it then so be it..... It is so silly the pressure we put on ourselves, and all you end up doing is concentrating on is all the things that you havent occomplished in stead of celebrating the things you do.....
So I have no resolutions for this year.... just to be me and go with the flow.
That is not to say I don't have a plan, and I do have things I want to achieve this year.... I am just viewing things from a different angle..... and I like it.
I feel much more energised and enthusiastic about my work and life in general than I have for a long time. I feel free to explore and experiment and also know it is ok to not always be so dam perfect.....
So... Heres to 2012.... may it be a fabulous one for all... Happy New Year xxx
Just had to show Fred the tree, he is all packed away now ready for next year.....
