I don't believe in resolutions as such but like the idea of starting the new year as positively as possible. Ideally, I would see it in with the one I love, but he is away. I am however, being positive on my own knowing he is in my life.
My house is reasonably clean (these things are of course relative!
) and I did my outstanding washing up before starting lunch. I had breakfast (tea and toast) and I cooked a 'proper' dinner. I also broke open (in a manner of speaking
...) a new pair of knickers and socks and clean clothing to celebrate the new year.
I had a nice morning of radio and doing puzzles (hanjie)and collected my newspaper from the corner shop.
I continued to be positive. I ate a very good Sunday lunch (chicken excellent, veg slightly overdone) at the table, washed up straight away and went for walk before I fainted at all this positivity!
I've since done a load of washing and a second load is just starting.... Oh - And I'm drying them in empty bedroom so place isn't like a 'Chinese Laundry'!
I've also RSVP'd some friends re my first invitation to a civil ceremony celebration and sent New Year's greetings to other friends...Phew!
Of course it could all be displacement activity, but it is very good displacement activity.
Later I intend having Cadbury's choc cake and custard - it's not good for me, but positive to indulge oneself I think - That's my excuse anyway!
I wish everyone the very best for 2006.
