I've got a horrid cold, and managed to lie awake all night replotting my WIP. I think some of it might be good, but really, in my current state of mind? No idea.
A co-worker of mine just had twins, and I'm surprised at how much I'm enjoying looking at the pictures of these cute little babies of a woman I don't know all that well. Right now, I think new life makes me happy. Too much negativity in the world - it's nice to focus on something beautiful.
We deserve chocolate!
And maybe some crime!
Some years back I made a resolution not to make any more resolutions.
And it's the only one I've managed to keep.
Can't sleep, so going to try some writing. Tomorrow I'm going for the last of the presents and then I'm heading over to the family home on Monday, coming home Boxing Day. This is the first Christmas in years where I've been counting the days until it's over. My family seem to have grown even worse this year in terms of selfishness and bitterness, and I'm actually dreading Christmas Day and dinner. So I'm seriously considering going abroad next year, maybe to a friend's house or even just somewhere by myself, even though I've not missed a family Christmas in 33 years (despite the fact that every year my family implies that I'm never there). So despite feeling really down about Christmas, I actually feel weirdly upbeat, if that makes sense. I have a good feeling about next year.
I think 2013 is going to be my year. I hope it turns out that way for all of you too.
I'm not going to make any resolutions this year either but rather I'm going to set goals for the year. It's much more exciting!
I hear you, Zel. Resolutions can be pretty depressing sometimes, especially when you have long term goals set, you get really close to them, then still don't reach them. I wanted to get back in shape this year. One goal I had for the year was to run 400 miles, I got to 300 by the end of August, and then hurt myself. I'm at just under 320 miles right now.
RESOLUTIONS!!!!
I'm asking everyone here.
What ones did you meet this year & what ones are you making for next year?
Good for you Zelenka.
One of my resolutions for next year was to start and finish an editing course.
Well, it's 11.03pm here is Western Australia and I've just enrolled into the course for next year. God Bless the internet!
