Here we are, it’s my 1st column of 2015 and as I diligently fill
in the pages of the diary I received for Christmas I wonder what resolutions we’ve
all been making for the coming year.
Chances are by the time you read this some of us have
already broken our promises we were so keen to keep on New Year’s Eve 2014 but
there may still be a staunch few of us out there that really do mean to see theirs
all the way through in 2015.
Some may be through necessity and others through whimsy but
whether it be a small lifestyle makeover or big life changing decision we’ll
stick to it with military like precision to make sure we achieve the goal we
are seeking.
So what are my plans as we step into this New Year?
Well with two big events in my life approaching in the summer
that faithful old chestnut of many a resolution list appears.
For with my 40th birthday looming into sight in June
I intend my age to be the only big statement number about me not the size of my
ballooning waistline.
So with the
inspiration of a vintage dress that belonged to my grandmother I hope to cut a
much slimmer, fitter figure as I hit the dance floor at my party in six months time.
And a few weeks after that I’ll be taking on my debut
bridesmaid role for which i don’t intend to be the fat frumpy forty something
bridesmaid next to my much younger colleagues so it’ll be off to the gym and
weightwatchers for me but what other things to i want to achieve?
I’ve had a few ideas for maybe writing a book, so i intend
to give myself time to develop that, and then I might let someone take a look.
Get stuck back in to my vintage clothing selling, volunteer work
for charity or take a look into doing some more adult learning.
Passing my driving test is a big priority, after finally succeeding
in my theory test it’s only the practical that stands between me and making getting
from a to b a bit quicker to achieve.
However the most important thing on my list is to make sure
I give my time and attention to those who I hold dear.
Not make excuses, put things off, say I’m too busy, maybe we
can do it next year because as recent events over the world and even just here
in this little family have shown me that you need to cherish every day because
you never know what changes tomorrow might bring.
