New Year Thoughts...

I loved 2012 - it challenged and rewarded, questioned and encouraged, made me laugh and made me cry but overall, I think I handled it pretty well. And that's what it's all about. Not about hoping 2013 is good to you, it's hoping that you'll be good at coping with what 2013 throws your way. It's about being a better, more rounded, stronger person at the end of it because you met the challenges head on, asked for help when you needed it and helped others along the way. And that's about as deep as I'll get on this blog!

New Year's Eve was home-made Thai green curry night - helping us to sweat out the last of 2012. I put on a dress for the occasion and decided to get a photo once the bubbly was poured…but then the bubbly got drunk and some wine too and by the time I remembered photos, I had moved onto Fanta in an attempt to stay awake until midnight! Rock n roll...

Wearing a purple wool dress with black appliqué detail that I picked up in a wee boutique in Moira last Christmas. In fact, it was my Christmas Day dress for 2011. I wore it with my flat pony skin pumps from M&S (remember this post earlier this year - they were the only pair I kept!). Super comfy for working in the kitchen.

I'll leave you with a quote a friend of mine put on Facebook on Monday night, which for me really sums up New Year...
