It's been a good year...

Thank you for being part of the journey...

Wishing love, peace, happiness and healthy vibes for 2016

as 2011 begins...

i look forward to the year ahead

and feel full of positive

anticipation

always a good way to start i feel

so what of the resolutions made this

2011

i like to think of them as a

 to do list

that way if i don't achieve

everything in the short space of the year

i can just pretend i lost the list somewhere

in the bottom of a bag, scrumpled up with

receipts and tissues

or perhaps it got washed

with my favourite pair of jeans

the dog ate it...hugely possible

it got shredded in with the newspapers 

used for the hen house...

you get the picture

its easier to go easy on

oneself that way...

so on with the list

in no particular order of

importance

*

plant more green salad leaves

(love salad more than any other veg

can never have enough come the summer months)

*

smile more about nothing in particular

(makes one look like you got the cream all the time

and helps one feel better even when things may not

always be so good)

*

always finish one project or design before

starting a new one

*

grow more veg

(see above)

*

tell the people i love

that i love them more often

*

hatch some baby chicks

*

pick up my bass guitar

and learn to play along to mr nellie and eves

gorgeous songs he writes

(totally underrated talent, needs to be nurtured)

*

bake more cakes for more cafes

*

run faster

*

have no fear of the things i cannot change or influence

(worry lines are not good)

*

don't worry about worry lines

(see above)

*

take time to smell the roses

(and try to get rid of the black spot

while i'm at it)

*

try to handmake

 items that one may need from time to time

(if not achieveable then only buy handmade

 secondhand or locally produced)

love a bit of recycling

*

think outside the box

*

spin more wool to make the jumper

of my dreams

*

don't stress if all the above

doesn't get done

(goals are good they keep the mind

focused but no need to get too

heated up by it all

*

life live

 happy kind healthy and loving 

 hope its a good un

wishing you the happiest of years ahead
