Christmas Blessings !

With Christmas catch ups and gatherings well underway; those  sentimental, warm, fluffy, fuzzy 'Christmas movie' feeling's have made a seasonal appearance. I'm such a Christmas romantic and make no apologies!! Ho Ho Ho! 

                            Christmas catch ups 

Moments like these in my 2013/2014 calendar is what has prevented me from wishing away the last year and rushing to the next ...

I'm sure I'd be forgiven for wanting to see the back of 2014, after all #cancer is a tragic story, however I am NOT cancer and it has been the way 'the tragedy' has been played and the special times, that has defined me and my life in 2014.

      Birthday and house warming do!

There'll  be no wishing away of time and no projecting ones mind into the future ... That would just distract me from experiencing my 'now' ... And that's a pretty good place to be... in spite of it's challenges (Yes, Di, the party in my head is still going!)

I have found myself almost trying to convince some well wishers that I AM OK, when care and concern has been expressed about impact of  the toils of the last year.

It has been/is tough but 'Ok' is just  the right word, for to expect anymore would be unrealistic given I have had cancer and my relationship ended. It has been/is OK because those things, have/can be ameliorated by the blessings of my life and the love, care and concern I have felt from well wishers!

With Our minds conditioned with traditional thoughts of 'fresh' starts and new years resolutions, I see this through another dimension this year.

There is no ending or new beginning really, my story is ever evolving and I shall start each day with 'bite size' resolutions to see me through the challenges of next year, whilst firmly focusing on the hopes and dreams that 2015 holds for me. 

It's gonna be pretty tough to beat some of the  fund-raising and 'modelling' accomplishments of 2014, but watch me try ! Lol!

My final Christmas message is one of thanks and gratitude to all the family and friends, new and old, who have supported me this year.  I really could not have got to where I am today with such 'sparkle' without you all, and I wish you all a very merry Christmas  and a most excellent 2015!
