Twenty Fourteen.



The cliché end of year post. Ive not felt like blogging for the past few weeks, so i thought id make up for it by writing a big ass post about the past year.

I feel like i should say something constructive about the year 2014, but i literally have no clue what to say. Ive reviewed it in my head, and all I've been able to come up with is that a) it went really quickly and b) it made me stronger. You know, what doesn't kill you and all. My only New Years Resolution is to be happy. Or content, either will do me. I've not spent alot of time this year focusing on myself, which is something i will be doing alot more of next year. I want to give more, I've already booked my next blood donation appointment and signed up for Race For Life in June, but i want to give to a charity at least once a month. 



Ive never really been one for going crazy about the New Year, I've only ever seen it as a change of date and to roll my eyes at people swearing to become a new person and to achieve all the things they've always wanted to achieve. New Years Resolutions never work because if people really wanted their goals, they would be motivated enough to do something about it at any time of the year, not just at a New Year. 


So, there's my two cents on 2014 and New Years Resolutions. Hopefully my 2015 post in 12 months time will be more reflective and cheery? Who knows, i guess you'll just have to wait and find out! I thought id post some of my favourite pictures from this year, it seems a shame to keep them stashed away on my phone. 




There is my 2014 in a small nutshell. I hope everyone has a good New Year and that it brings everything you wished for :)
