that new year feeling

First post of 2012!

I'm so glad it's a new year, not because 2011 was bad because it wasn't, it was actually quite good but because every new year seems to reignite  a sense of optimism in everyone. I've not set a list of goals or resolutions this year because it seems to me that, like rules, they're made for breaking. I'm definitely not much of a rule breaker but I can't keep a resolution either. Therefore, in order to make sure the optimism doesn't just fade after January I've written a list. Lists are good. 

My list, I think, is quite easy going if that makes sense. It's not a pressuring or forceful list, just a list of things that I'd like to do more of this year, because isn't that what it's about, making each year better than the last? I must admit however that the no pressure-no force bit applies in absolutely no way to the first one. That is pressure right there. That needs to be done, and hopefully done well!

Time goes so fast. I think it's a bit scary how fast we got here, I remember thinking about being in this year at school and this age with my friends when we were much younger and now we're actually here. And we made it here a lot faster than we thought we would. I think it's a good scary though, exciting almost.

I hope you've had an absolutely wonderful start to the year!

Are you making any goals/lists/resolutions this year?
