T minus two and counting


Like hundreds of thousands of people in the Western World - perhaps millions - I am seriously contemplating making a New Year's Resolution. Over the decades,  I have always said I don't bother when people have enquired.  It has previously struck me as silly and 'sheep/lemming like' just something people say in January - a bit like talking about the weather when stuck in the lift with one other person who you sort of know. However I like the sound of 2014, it has a smooth and rounded ring to it and if positive thinking is as effective as some claim, I am feeling fairly determined to make some significant changes.   At the turn of midnight tomorrow - It will be just over 9 months to my BIG half century - a very significant landmark (and benchmark) in itself and 2014 is the year it falls in.  I was just about to mindlessly type that nine months and some days is a very significant time in itself and much can be achieved, yes, tell that to a few friends around the world who are younger and are soon to produce newborns.  Well that is not my story but I do want to have an adventure and I have to prepare myself for it, in the same way a woman should get her body ready and in the peak of condition to ensure a healthy child, it is almost a responsibility outside of yourself - getting broody isn't always about the overwhelming desire to produce the next generation but I imaging the undefinable feeling of longing is similar to that hormonal drive - perhaps this is just the next on a series of them throughout live.  

So I just need to focus and be mindful if I am to achieve what I want to and probably need to for all sorts of reasons in my next decade.

Time to use your Brains? 

Yes B'lady!
