Well it’s that time of year for new beginnings, fresh starts and new year’s resolutions. My only resolution this year is to learn how to sew. I’ve not bothered to set any goals that I know I know may be unachievable for any number of reasons and I will simply focus on being the happiest person I can be.
The last few days have given me some time to reflect on the year that was 2012 and remember the highs and the lows. I was fortunate enough to not have many significant lows, apart from a constant battle with depression and a diagnosis of asthma my family and I have been relatively healthy. I did also (as I think happens every now and then) learn more about the types of people I want to have in my life. As I get older, I realise more and more that people who aren’t honest, upfront and can’t stand up for what they believe are not the people I need around. I already deal with constant second guessing of myself with depression that I need strong people around me.
There were many highs, best of all agreeing to go on a blind date in March. I could’ve very easily stayed home that night and not gone out (would’ve been very easy!) but I am so glad I stepped out of my comfort zone and met someone amazing. Now I am in the middle of planning a wedding and am very excited. I was also lucky enough to go overseas for the first time, work with great people, do small renovations to my house, meet some wonderful people and I am hopeful that 2013 will contain all of these things.
