2014

So the start of a new year brings the standard posts on social networking etc that go something along the lines of "bye bye 2013 hello 2014"'hoping for a better year etc. etc. but for me if there is anything that life has taught me over the years it's to enjoy everything, regret nothing and treasure the memories life gives. In other words enjoy anything and everything no matter how small , one day you'll look back on those memories and they might be a big thing.

New Years resolutions? - million dollar question .......
I'm not a great believer in these as I feel it's a bit like setting yourself up to fail, maybe making decisions and giving yourself small goals and challenges, but don't overload yourself and be realistic. Last year I set myself resolutions and failed but this year I've decided to enjoy thing more and build lots of happy memories,That said I've decided to make a few and I'm going to try hard :
1. To be more active
2. To lose some weight - think this is on everyone's list but I've been told by my Dr I need to do here goes......
3. To be accepting of myself and my asthma - I often try to hide this from people because of the problems I had with other kids during my school life I worry others will react in the same or a similar way. I also need to accept, admit and face battles head on rather than shying away from the problem.
4. Blogging more!
New Years book ?
Those of you who know me will, know I start a notebook in January , I spend the month filling it with ideas and plans for my year. This gives me purpose and gives me something to focus on. When I've compiled my points, ideas and plans for the year I'll do a post on my book.

New Years aim!
This is something I started last year, I make a decision , to give, to do to raise or to complete. Last year I chose to give as I felt it was the opposite of giving up.  I made a decision that in 2013 I would give blood, I took me till July to do it, but I did it in my year, I gave twice last year and this is something I will continue to do as long as I am able to. This felt so rewarding and was a great aim. I can really honestly say it's easy and so rewarding that it's something that you can do , I recommend you do it. This year I've decided I'd like to do something and raise some money for charity. More to follow on this soon, when I've decided.

Happy New Year!!
