I hope you all had a good Christmas. However odd, different or normal it was. Christmas was less than a week ago but seems so far away now. In my house all the decorations have been taken down, all packed away for next year. I like to have all the decorations down for New Year as to me it’s the start of …well.. a New Year. Plus we put the tree up so stupidly early in December that by Boxing Day I am starting to get a bit fed up with it.
So it’s a time to reflect on the year that’s been. How’s the year been for you? Mine has been quiet and fairly uneventful. My youngest turned 13 so meant I no longer had a teenager and younger child but 2 teenagers in the house. If that wasn’t enough to make me feel my age, the eldest turned 16.
For me there have been no house moves, no job changes and most pleasingly no tragic events. As uneventful as it has been I think this year has made me more determined to make next year remarkable. Remarkable isn’t anything earth shattering, remarkable for me is getting through the week without crashing. This year I have learnt a lot more about M.E (I was diagnosed several years ago) the more I learn about it the more I dislike it. It’s unpredictable and has many facets to it. So just when you think your starting to get the hang of it …..Bam …it knocks you off your feet again.
So next year I really want to get the M.E under control and get back to where I was with it. I want to find time to read more, draws more and learn more. I want to carry on with my craft stuff as I have discovered it makes me happier than a pig in…brown muddy stuff.
I hope you all have a great new year’s eve and make some achievable and realistic resolutions.
