Not really a New Year resolution

[selenay]

After last week's whiny, crabby, grumpy persona I've decided that I need to not do that. It's a New Year and I should be looking at the positive, at what I'll change for the good, rather than looking for the down side. I felt thoroughly miserable and depressed last week and that definitely isn't going help me find the positive things in 2008.

So I must resist the temptation to keep writing depressed, whiny, complaining entries in here. Or if I do need to write one, I also need to find a positive thing to balance it out.

I've written a list of things that I want to do before I leave England in August. It's sort of like a New Year's resolution, but not really. I shall post the list here when I get home so that I can start ticking things off.

I had a fun weekend. Went up to London to meet up with my sister and hit the sales in Liberty's to buy Christmas baubles. I've got a dozen beautiful ones to add to the collection that I bought last year: my first Christmas tree in Canada is going to look beautiful. In a couple of weeks I'll be back in London to spend book tokens in Foyles (all of us received some so we'll be doing a family trip) and hopefully it will be marginally less crowded then!

I seem to have rather a lot of things planned this month: Foyles, a meal with The Girls for a birthday, a trip to the theatre to see Nutcracker and somewhere in there I'm supposed to start training for my ascent of Snowdon. Then February starts with a week in snowy Canada. Lots to look forward to although I'm starting to get that "so much to do, so little time to do it in!" feeling.

I'm really glad you're feeling cheerful honey :o) If you do start to flag though, think on this;

I will be emigrating to Canada in August.

That would be enough to put a cheesy grin on my face that would probably stay there even when I was asleep! ;o)

Thanks, hon, that thought does help :-) It also causes a certain amount of incipient panic (eep! So much to do before I leave!) but it mostly makes me happier. It certainly helps when I'm feeling depressed and grumpy about still being in a crap job that I hate :-)

A light at the end of the tunnel. Won't be long, and you'll get everything done that you need to, never fear. *hugs*
