Happy New Year to all of you who read or stumble across my blog! Wishing you all had a lovely Christmas and a not too messy New Years eve. Here I am, back to my normal timetable...reality has set in big time. I have enjoyed the lie ins, the copious food stuffage and the social merriment usually attached to the end of the year but I have a simmering excitement for this New Year! Dear 2013...I have some expectations of you, are you ready for me?
I have not made lists of resolutions, as with all novelties they do fade but what I have thought about is the hopes that I have. As the photo above suggests I have decided upon adventure and romance. Adventure in the common sense of exploring terrain that I have not seen before but in daily life too, taking steps towards things not fully guaranteed in outcome but enjoying the journey and allowing destinations to be presented to me as I move forward. Romance, not just in my own relationship but seeing it in others too. I read a definition of romance being the inclination of the feelings of excitement and mystery of love. I believe that can adapted to any relationship you have that has love. Love of your partner, siblings, friends....excitement of the times you spend together and the mystery of themselves that will slowly be unveiled the more you want to know more and more about them and the mystery of the places you will find yourself with them. Always believe that there is more depth to the people around you, I believe that will make us approach others differently. However, Romance in the classic sense is important too. For me not to just receive romantic gestures but to give it more. I want to encourage friends and family to embrace it, seek it and want it. Not to be scared of the uncertainty of love but revel in the mystery. Admit you want it. Take chances you thought you would never take, take chances on people that might surprise you and enjoy the moment.
I could reel other professional, career, health and financial goals but those things are standard and not just for January revelations however with my hopes in tow I believe this year is going to be rich in so many good things. And I can't wait to share them when they happen.
