My first thought for the year.

1) Platitudes. I realise this is weird but, I loathe saying the following things: Happy New Year; Happy holidays; Happy Christmas; Happy Birthday. I know that sounds mean, but I can’t stand platitudes. I’d rather say something a little more creative, which makes me think that you’ve actually put some thought into it. Like “I hope this year is the one where your dream about that house you want to buy comes true”. It’s pointed, it’s personal and you can tell someone’s really thought about wishing YOU a happy time. Just a random thought, whilst we’re just emerging from the season of festive platitudes.

2) This year, is an attempt to get less irritated with myself. Seriously. I mean it. That’s what I want to try and achieve this year. It may seem absolutely banal to you, but it’s huge for me.

3) This year is also about much change. I will, after five years of it(aside from that good old Sheena invasion :P) be giving up my loner habitation habits. Weird, good feeling. Lots of change this year, all of it progressive and moving forward.

4) I am so lucky in love. So blessed with magnificent people in my life. This holiday has reminded me of that over and over and over again. I am infinitely rich in love.
