Not really a New Year resolution
Jan. 7th, 2008 09:01 amAfter 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.
