Resolution: happy

Happy New Year!
It seems fitting that after a rather longer than intended absence that I begin this fabulous, shiny, new year with the intent of becoming a regular blogger again.
The last few months have been a whirl-wind, a good whirl-wind, but crazy and non-stop. I have a note book filled with draft blog posts about all the bits and pieces I've been wanting to share, but having time where sitting at the computer is a priority has been rare. I've been taking big jumps, meeting new people, learning valuable skills and letting go of old baggage as part of my everyday, and I am loving it and the total 'busy-ness' of my life right now.
But, in the last few weeks I've constantly felt like everything has been spinning out of my control, I've had no confidence in what I was doing everyday and upon reflection I've decided that I just need to let go. I need to embrace all these new things in my life, I need to enjoy the challenges, not feel stressed and bewildered at the unknown and most of all I want to, in fact I need to, make a conscious effort to be happy.

So I have chosen happy as my word for 2013. It is my resolution for the year, and it is what I hope is going to keep me grounded. I'm making some plans and setting some big goals, but I've decided that by making sure that whatever I chose to do it is something that will make me happy, then everything is going to achievable, and I am going to feel like a better person for it.

Here's to an amazing year!
