Happy New Year... we had a lovely celebration time here in our little corner of Cornwall. A lovely smallish celebration of a special time of year. I love Christmas and make no secret of it! Most people close to me dread the beginning of October as that is when I begin to start my preparations in earnest! Just before Christmas I had the horrible task of waiting for biopsy results as there were symptoms of something not quite right in my womb! On Christmas Eve I got the magical letter that said 'your results are benign!!'... I would like to publicy thank all my friends and family for the support through this awful period of time!
Anyway... at the start of the New Year I start to think of resolutions and challenges... I don't normally make resolutions are I feel they are the best way to fail quickly! Instead this year I am setting myself two challenges...
1. To be less of a person tied to my job! I think that I have a good balance in my mind about work and homelife but sometimes I find it VERY hard to say no when asked to do something work related! I do this at the expense of myself! I am determined this year to do my job to the best of my ability but that is where it ends! I am not going to break my back and my family over going the 'extra mile'. I feel that my family and my own life come first from now on!
No more looking like this through my own fault!...
2. A Challenge/New Experience every week for 52 weeks!
I am going to challenge myself to something new every week for whole year. They could be small challenges to big ones! I am open to some suggestions but be warned I may not take you up on your ideas!! I will blog about them on here so this will hopefully mean that I at least blog regularly!!
Challenge 1:
To complete a patchwork quilted item... this is the first week's challenge and I will post pictures tomorrow... I have nearly finished and will have a 'big reveal' as soon as possible!
Good luck with what ever challenges you make for yourselves this year!
