Well Christmas came and went in a busy blur of shopping, eating, drinking and good times with family and friends. Now it seems for many of us 2012 is already all about resolutions, diets, gym memberships and finding new, more fulfilling jobs.
The amount of pressure we pile onto ourselves every January is immense and quite frankly ridiculous, we expect to turn our whole lives around in one month and is it any wonder that we're all diving for the chocolate by the 31st (if not earlier).
It seems to me that we need some new resolutions...so instead of ruthlessly forbidding chocolate I will just be treasuring a small piece every now and then after a bad day at work. Instead of joining that expensive gym and pounding out the miles on a soul-less treadmill I will be donning a headscarf and gayly riding a bike through the city park a la Von Trapp family!
Instead of vowing not to drink I'll be savouring one glass of beautiful bordeux instead of guzzling the whole bottle and rather than buying into the latest celebrity fitness plans I might just take the stairs up to the office in the morning.
My point is that life is for living so I won't be piling on the pounds vegging with takeaways, I'll be checking out local free gigs and plays, and trying to inject a little Joie De Vivre!!!
So although it is a little late I wish you Happy New Year x
Smile like these wonderful women and have fun in 2012!
Love
