End of one year, Start of a new one....

I know many people have written blogs, messages and so on to celebrate the end of one year and the beginning of a new one and I am wondering by writing down some of my thoughts and hopes it might help - hmmmm I wonder - but still....

My daughter (who is the light of my life - and if you do read this I apologise for being so corny but it is true) keeps on telling me to forget what has happened in the past, forget those people who keep you hanging on with vague promises or offers and look to the future, so this is what I plan to do for 2013!

This year has had it's good times - of course which year doesn't? - from starting a new website from scratch, seeing people actually liking the cards etc that I have designed to my daughter and her boyfriend move into their very own flat - when I went to visit and looking at how they were so happy made me in turn feel proud that she has become a very lovely and successful young woman. She now has a really nice partner who really loves her! (oh goodness maybe I should pass  the sickbag around..) - my turn next I think? 

I have however, become more and more aware that I am really not satisfied with the way my life is going and that it is now time to actually do something about it! Am not changing things for the sake of it but because I think I am the type of person who likes an "easy" life and if I don't do something now then I will become the type of person who says "what if"....

So what do I plan to do in 2013? Well, first of all and I know lots of people will be going to do this, is that I plan to lose weight and get healthy, secondly I am going to make sure that I am doing something that actually makes better use of the experiences and talents I have and not just making do with "second best" and thirdly, am going to ditch those things that have dragged me down for far too long - am going to make things happen rather than waiting for someone else to do it for me...

Well even if I do one of these things then that will be a start - and who knows, I might actually get to do all of them!

Happy New Year to everyone and here's to a great 2013..
