The new year is fast approaching

Well it’s not long now before this year is out and the new year is in. I’m amazed how quickly it comes around. This year has seen a reasonable amount of change, on the most part, it has introduced to me new friends, friendships that have grown into something I now value greatly.

I have disappointingly lost the odd friend too, for two very different reasons. One is just purely because values change and outlooks differ. In some cases, people just change, sometimes not for the better. The main thing is, I’ve glained more friends compared to the ones I’ve lost. To me, that’s what matters most. One friendship unfortunately ended abruptly due to their passing, their life taken away too early, this was a real shock and really adds a very different perspective to your life and outlook.

So as I reflect on this year and looking forward to what’s ahead in the new year, one thing is for sure, I will be bringing some amazing friendships with me into 2018. I look forward to the time I’ll spend with them and the adventures we’ll have together.

So for 2018, I want to continue to explore, grow my new friendships…let loose and be brave. I’m sure I can manage that! Now I need to come up with a new list of challenges for the coming year. I already have one in mind, I just need to consider some others. I’m hoping I’ll achieve them, just like the ones I’ve achieved this year. So to you all, set some goals, challenging and enjoyable ones. All the best for the New Year!
