So, it is the first day of 2014. A lot of people give me harsh looks at this time of year because January is one of my favourite times in the year. Other people don’t always feel the same but it works for me. January seems to bring balance to my year. It is a month of proper winter and that seems to help reset me for the coming months. In years where January is too mild, I feel unsettled for most of the ensuing months.

January is also the month that is filled with hope and possibilities. The year can be the one where my life is filled with smiles. The end of December is my time to reflect, January is my time to move forwards.

Last year has been filled with more than I imagined. I have had the wonder of the deepening and strengthening relationship with my man. I trust him beyond anything I imagined possible. He has pushed me forwards in exploring and challenging my boundaries. This year will bring more of that but also more security and more of the cocoon that finding your soul mate provides.

I have had an interesting year with friendships. I have had the joy of calling new people friends online and have met some of them in real life too. I have shared, giggled and frown through welcoming them into my life. I have been burnt by one person who I welcomed into my life only to be hurt by their actions. Even this horrible ending has taught me that the risk of getting hurt are still small compared to the joys brought by friends that do stick around.

Last year nearly broke me with workplace stress. Now that I am through that, I am ready to get hold of 2014 and prioritise the important things. So my focus will be on people that are important to me and experiences that thrill me.

I hope that all of you have hearts filled with hope for the year. I hope you will keep popping in here to keep up with my exploits and experiences.

Oh, and one more thing. One of my New Year’s Resolutions is to wear stockings more often.

  1. When I met my best friend 7 years ago, she said that people are like ships in the night. We pass each other, sometimes hang out for a short time or several years and we might loose each other, but we always learn from each experience. People touch our lives in different ways and unfortunately it’s not always in a positive way. I wish you a lot of positive experiences this year!

    Happy 2014 to you!
