Well, here we go again. I love a new start. Being a teacher means you get two New Years but I am looking forwards to this one most. This year has been an incredibly hard one so using this as an excuse to start again is a blessing.
This past year has been terribly painful so this year I hope to close some doors and start new more pleasant things. I know that some people believe the new year means change in itself but I am very aware that I need to make the change if I want things to happen.
These are not resolutions (I feel that I just break resolutions) but just thoughts about the new year.
1) I have moved to a beautiful part of the world. I want to get outside more and enjoy the beauty.
2) Talking of moving, I used to live with someone who took zero pride in his surroundings and I want to be the complete opposite of this in my new place. I am saving for pretty things and want to make this place a wonderful place for my new start.
3) Last year was very much about looking back (and not always in a good way) so this year will be about living in the present and celebrating the happy moments.
4) It is safe to say, I let myself go a bit this past year. Obviously, I know that looking good isn't the key to happiness but I want to feel good and looking good is a part of this (for me). I want to eat better, keep up with the fitness, get a better skin regime and learn to do my makeup better.
If you are reading this, I wish you every blessing for the new year. I hope that in a year's time you will look back on it and smile at the good bits and marvel at how well you dealt with the not so good bits.
Happy New Year!
