So here it is my post new year post (ha ha ha) with some tweaks to accommodate the changes in my life.
I was searching for something profound and amusing to kick start the new
year and came across this on Pintrest:
I loved the
words and I hope that I can get to the end of 2013 having lived my best life
and not just existed!!
I have been
known to join the gazillions of people who take the opportunity of a new year
to set some goals for myself, to dream a little…Last year I had a little bit of
trouble coming up with goals and dreams and if I did they were dashed and cast
aside as life took over.
This year…I
am not sure….I have been kinda waiting for a light bulb moment. In previous
years I have felt like I made lists and then made lists for my lists and it
seems like an endless cycle of disappointment and rejections when I can’t tick
items off the list.
Over the
last few months I have felt like something was missing from my life, like I
needed to find something I have lost and suddenly in my champagne induced
state last night I realised that the “thing” screaming at me is that my life
lacks balance and as a result my life lacks joy.
So 2013 for
me is going to be a year about finding and then perfecting balance…..balance
between my work and my personal life, balance between responsibility towards
myself and responsibilities towards my family, balance between stress and my
health and balance between the chaos (read drama) I allow in my life and what
is truly needed. I feel the need to simplify…I am so tired of complications, of over committing myself and of all the clutter in my life. I believe that 2013
may be a year of significant change for me…so watch this space!!!
The loss of my dad has revealed to me that I have a tendency to wrap myself in the lives of others. I get so involved in their lives that I forget to live my own and that needs to change. I need to find...you guessed it...balance.

To all of
you who visit my little piece of the blogsphere….I wish you the very best for
the year ahead. I hope that your dreams come true, that your resolutions are
fulfilled and that 2013 will be a magical year for you and your loved ones.
For those who like me had a tough 2012 and who are perhaps still going through a tough time…..you are in my prayers constantly and never far from my thoughts….
