Spidey’sSerene Sunday – Part 98 – Happy New Year!

img_00411.jpg

“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!!!!!!

Whoop Whoop! 2017 Here We Come!

Well Hello Peeps!

Here I am with my final post of 2016.

It’s been a roller coaster of a year, hasn’t it?

For all the downs, there have been ups as well!

I was able to go with my family to Finland, and spend time with my parents, brother and his family, as well as my own. It was a trip that was memory filled!

I managed to make the Annual Blogger’s Bash Awards, where not only did I get to meet many of the key members of my blogily, but I was also voted second best blog!

A biggie for me, I managed to publish my first book! A volume of poetry, named Poetic  RITUals. And with over  10 five star reviews across the various Amazon sites, I was blown away! If you are inclined, click below to check it out!

And I haven’t been as active on the blog, but I do hope it has been more quality than quantity this year! I managed to secure over 2000 followers, so it can’t be all that bad!

What will 2017 hold?

I am no psychic so I have no idea. Maybe this will be the year I am able to get back into my creative writing properly, and who knows, maybe there will be another book with my name on it in the future!

I do know, though, that I shall become an honorary aunt to the baby of my best friend! And in June 2017, I shall be meeting my darling Blogily again at the Annual Bloggers Bash, and who knows… maybe there will be more of you there to meet this time!!!

I only hope that whatever happens, happens for a good reason, and that we are all healthy, happy and at peace with one another.

Anything else will be a bonus!

So let me take this moment to wish you all a wonderful New Year! May the future be bright for you all, my wonderful blogily Peeps!

Light and love!

#SoCS Dec. 31/16 – First/Last

Linda’s SoCS prompt this week.

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “first/last.” Use one or both words, or find words that mean the same. Bonus points if you start your post with “first/beginning/start” etc. and end with “last/end” etc. Enjoy!

 

First thought with this prompt
Can I write a good haiku?
The final word… last

First, I just have to say, thanks to Linda for this SoCS challenge. I have really enjoyed participating this year. Daily challenges are not easy for me, with work, but weekly ones, I am able to handle!

It’s been fun, writing off the cuff with given prompts, made me think a little outside the box on occasion too!

And long do I hope to continue taking part!

Now, I will stop rambling… I know what you’re thinking… she’s shut up… at LAST!

Sonu Singh’s Festive Week

It’s been a while since you saw our cute kitty, so here a few photos of him in action the past few days.

We’ve chilled together.

He has been playing with his tickle stick cat wand, and jumping oh so high too!

Obviously, all that jumping and licking of feathers is tough work, so there has been some stretching happening…

He’s got so long!

We also had some more encounters with Ginger, the next door neighbour’s cat, and Sonu Singh actually met him, face to face, with no glass in between!

There was a hiss, from Sonu, then he decided he’d prefer to continue this relationship through a pane of glass!

I, on the other hand, had great fun, finally getting close enough to Ginger to actually stroke him! He is obviously not used to a lot of physical contact, shivering, and jerking away, but at the same time, trying to lean in for a stroke!

And I even got a video of him having a roll around!

This video doesn’t exist

Currently, Sonu Singh is miaowing at the kitchen door, hoping for more food!

Bless him!

More of him in the new year Peeps!

Happy Miaow Year from Sonu Singh!

Sue’s photo prompt this week.

time

Time

It doesn’t stand still, you know
Time
Keeps on ticking
Time
Makes us older
Time
Sometimes wiser
Time
Each moment, a new fact
Time
Though you can’t go back
Time
New life welcomed
Time
Farewells to departed
Time
Still, it keeps going
Time
Ticking, tocking

Time.
