Reflections

I don’t do new year resolutions. If I did I would just break them anyway! But that doesn’t mean that I don’t reflect. Think about the year that is past and what I will do for the year that is ahead. Some years are exciting to look forward to. 2009 was like that. Fiona was turning 21 and getting married and that took up a lot of time and energy. It was great. 2010 was the year I started working outside the house for the first time in 10 years. And 2011 Gordon and I celebrated our silver wedding and had a party. It was fun.  And we went on a cruise for the first (but I hope not the last) time. We had such a good time visiting places we had never seen before. Alistair had his 21^st birthday and Catherine turned 16. We built an extension to the house.So what does 2012 hold? No exciting birthdays. No exciting holidays and no weddings. I’m sure things will happen as the year goes on, but at the moment I can’t predict what they will be. It will be interesting to look back on this post in a year and see what the year turned out like. But then how boring would life be if we knew what was ahead of us.
