“New Year – a new chapter, new verse, or just the same old story? Ultimately we write it. The choice is ours.” – Alex Morritt

It’s all too easy, isn’t it, to start the new year, full of wonderful, uplifting resolutions?

We can all make sweeping statements about how we are going to change our life styles, or our jobs. How this will be the year we make that first £1,000,000… (dream on!) or write that best seller.

Then we get to the end of the year not quite having achieved what we thought we would.

Many a time, the reason we don’t reach our goals is because we forget that we have to actually put the effort into getting there.

It’s all well and good deciding to get fit and join a gym… but that piece of plastic in your wallet is only worth it if you actually use it. It will only lose £’s, not lb’s if you fail to go!

If you want to make a career change, or take up a course for some self-improvement, then do it. Don’t just think about it!

And the one I always have an issue with, write more. I dearly wish that I can write something fiction that is publishable. Last New Year, I said the same thing. And though I didn’t manage to do what I wanted, I still ended up with a book out there with my name on!

So, I am going to make no promises this year. But I will definitely try to do the things I want to do. Achievable goals, hopefully. Even if I am able to write creatively, not for the blog, for at least an hour a week. And exercise a couple of times a week… that would be a good thing!

But I know I will have to work at it!

I managed my weight loss, I think if I put my mind to it, I will be able to achieve these things too!

So all that remains for me to say is Happy New Year from Spidey and me!

Have a wonderful year Peeps!!!! Hope there are not too many sore heads from all the celebrating!!!!!!

    I am pretty sure that you will be able to achieve your goals, Sis. I too am not making any resolutions this year, but I have a few personal goals that I want to achieve. Here’s to 2017! 🍷🍷

    Yes, sis! I couldn’t agree more! It is not about promises. It is about taking action for how we want to feel or for what we want to see unfolding in our lives. And we can do that no matter what day of the year it is. So, in the end, we can only do it NOW anyway. Love that, Sis!
