Woo it’s 2012. The start of a new year. I know a lot of people criticise the idea of new year’s resolutions, but I say why not? Yes, you could decide to change your life or start something new at any time of the year, and good on you if you do, but for me, January always does feel like a fresh start. After the excess and high spirits of December (and oh I love all that excess) January 2nd always feels like a big comedown, all the festivities are over and you are confronted with cold, grey skies and the inevitable return to work and normal life. So, what better time to decide to make a few positive changes in your life? And hey, even if you don’t manage to stick to any of them, the initial excitement and positive attitude will have got you through those first 3 dreary weeks of January, and at worst, life will have returned to normal.
So, I don’t have any resolutions as such. I have decided however, that this is the year to make things happen! We have our own house – very exciting! And now I feel like I’ve finally got somewhere inspiring to work, and no more excuses for not putting my all into trying to get some freelance illustration work.
On that note these are the last 4 illustrations I’ve created since December.
Apart from that I have also decided to try and challenge myself a bit more in life, in general. I want to try out more new things, things I wouldn’t normally do. If I don’t enjoy them so be it, it’s still an experience. And life is all about experiences.
We joined a new gym last week, and first thing on my list is to go to one of the classes there. It’s not a biggie, but it doesn’t have to be. Life’s a rich tapestry and every little thing you do adds to its pattern. Right?
Ps. non-resolution no.3 is to write a blog post a week!
