This time last year I had a few resolutions - the main one being I wanted to write a blog. I told my best friend - she laughed - I didn't tell anyone else for a while. I know why she laughed - I stick at nothing- a blog to be updated and thought about well it wasn't going to last longer than the second week in January - and deep down I agreed with her. I'm an accountant - my childhood dream of being a writer was washed away a long long time ago - and I'm not confident in what I write nowadays, I'm too used to dealing with numbers. Still I ignored her giggles - becoming single has given me a different sort of confidence - a sort of sod you I'll prove I can do it on my own confidence that I don't think I had before. I was always confident to a point - but listened to others and if they thought I couldn't do it then I probably didn't push it or gave up believing them to be right. However now my life is on a completely different track to where it was 2 years ago - and this little blog - is a little record of just how good the last 12 months has been for all of us. My goal was to write it for 12 months - that was my aim and 140 posts later I know I've achieved a good record of 2012. I don't have much time in life, my laptop at home rarely gets charged up (but that will all change next year), I don't carry a camera around with me - but what I do have is my IPhone, I take pictures of everything and I can write a blog post anywhere and at anytime. This blog is not the most technical or inspiring piece of writing on the web but it is my record of a great year.
Roll on 2013 - I'm just thinking about what resolutions to set next year - now I know I can stick at something then maybe my goals should be a bit bigger.
