A New Year, a New Me???

Happy New Year to you all! (all 3of u who actually read this blog!)

I've snatched a few minutes to myself and have decided that a new year requires a new look blog. While sorting the new blog layout I've been pondering the whole thing of new years resolutions! Many a year I've made resolutions to work harder, to be on time, to budget, to lose weight. Some I've kept to in some shape or form... others really not! And in some ways although I wouldnt call it a resolution I will be joining a slimming club tomorrow night!

So I was musing... is this going to be a new year, a new me? There are many challenges in the year ahead. Yes, losing weight is one. Making a good progress in physio to get good strength and mobility back is another. We'll be moving house to a new area sometime soon hopefully so many a challenge comes with that, but with it much to look forward to. Also I have the immense privaledge of seeing my daughter grow and develop everyday... she is such a blessing and brings me such alot of happiness.

So in some ways, yes there are many challenges and things to bring joy in the year ahead... but a new me? Maybe I'll look better once I shed the excess pounds (which Id like to blame on having a child, but they were already there!), and maybe I'll live somewhere different... but I'm afraid folks, I'm resigned to the fact that it''ll still be the same old me... like it or not! All the faults will still be there what ever resolutions are made, so lets forget striving to be someone we're not and embrace all that is good, bad and unique about us all!!!

All the best for 2008, i hope it brings you much fun and laughter, love and happiness xxx

Ah, yes, those numerous enormous faults of yours... Hold on, I don't remember that many, actually. But it has been a long time!
I, for one, am glad that you're not looking to discovering a new you, but will pray with you that the you God made will continue to be re-formed to His image this year.
God bless - dude!
