Another year over...

It's that time of year again.
Starting to look ahead, make changes, feeling more positive.
Do you have a resolutions?
I'm not very good at sticking to them but I do have a few ideas that I'd like to carry out throughout the year.
1) the classic - lose some weight. Of course I can't do much in the way of exercise but hopefully with a change of diet I'll be able to get some of it off.
2) 30 bags for 30 days. (Or something like that...) I've read about this in a couple of places. The idea is you pick 30 'places' in your home that need sorting out. Not 30 consecutive days, just 1 day per thing/place. I haven't got 30 places yet, but I know the chest of drawers in my bedroom and the top of my wardrobe certainly need going through! I'm hoping I'll finish the year slightly more organised than I'm starting it!
3) Project life. Sort of. I do my own version throughout the year, following on from Shimelle's Doc 2012. But I came up with the idea to do it for my past.I need a way to get all these daft memories from my childhood out. I'm fed up of living in the past so much and I'm hoping if I write everything down it will get it out and I can focus on the future a bit more. (As unknown as mine is!).

I think, ultimately, I'm looking for a way for this new year to be a more positive one. This last year has just been eurgh. One bug after another, barely leaving the house. I need to find a way for this year to be more focused on happier thoughts and less on all the things I may or may not be missing out on.
Here's to letting go of negativity! Hope your new year is a happy, healthy one xxx
