It's a New Year!!

I really love New Years. It's without doubt my favourite time of year. Every year. I just can't get enough of the feelings of promise and hope for all that's to come in the following months and, the fact that each of us has a blank slate, I find universally empowering.

So do I feel empowered with the coming of this New Year? Yes, in a word! Life is never better than when you can open up a brand new diary (mine this year is a gorgeous candy pink colour, in A4 size for extra space and organisational importance) and know that all those days are yet to happen. I'm old enough to know I will waste days (in fact it's the 3rd today and I'm pretty sure I've "wasted" 2 out of the 3!), feel guilty about it, and try harder the next day/week/month to make each day count, but despite this, 2011 is still new and full of potential.

I have been meaning to write out a brand new set of (hopefully achievable) goals for myself and my family but of course life has got in the way yet again. I'm currently spending my spare moments either reading up on the discipline techniques of 1-2-3 Magic or reading a book on saving money. Both of these are very important for right now so I'll persist with that and get around to my goals as soon as I can without stressing too much because it's a brand New Year and I'm full of hope like that.

I'll leave you (or should I say 'myself'? Lol, I'll get around to sharing this blog with people at some point) with a photo of my beautiful babies with Santa. This was taken just a couple of weeks ago. The big one didn't mind, the little one did but we got the shot anyway.
