I wish all of you a happy new year! This blog post is a look back at 2011, but more importantly looking forward into 2012.
2011 was one of my worst adult years and the year contained two family deaths, hardship, violence, health problems and more. At times it was like wading against a monster wave, aka ‘The Perfect Storm’. However there were moments of 2011 which I enjoyed, including some of which I blogged about. As well as having a great girlfriend and family, I’m lucky to know some fantastic people in the UK and around the world. 2011 would have been far worse, if it wasn’t for the great people in my life.
Please expect more of the same style of blog posts during 2012, but I will stop sharing my website statistics. Instead the end of month post will now be a photo per day round-up! I’ve decided to take a photo per day, aka Project 365 style, but seeing as it is a leap year, a project 366!
Last year I picked a word for the year, which was ‘progress’ and even through the nightmare year, I tried to live by the word. In 2012 my chosen word is ‘repair’, which I’m already living by. Have you chosen a word for the year? I hope you do and please let me know what your word is in the comments.
So what else do I have planned? Quite a lot, but this year I won’t be sharing my new year’s resolutions which are more ambitious this year.
I can’t wait for 2012 to unfold and I hope you stick around and reply via the comments.
Hi Andrew,
It is so great to see you back blogging again. I sure have missed your presence around Twitter and the blog world!
My word for this year is WRITE. I intend to write every day. Whatever it may be: A blog, a letter, an email, a journal, a story, and I am working on novel number two. Plus I want to write more family history books. So that is my word for the year! 🙂
Happy 2012 to you! I hope it is a year in which you get your wish REPAIR. I like RESTORE as well, as it is vital for progress and healing.
Hi Debra,
Happy New Year.
Thank you for the welcome back. Alas no plans for a return to twitter, but will definitely be blogging more here.
I love your word for the year. I look forward to finding out over the course of the year, how you get on. Plus good luck with novel no2, very impressive.
I’m subscribed to your blog, so will be following your blog updates as well. 🙂
All the best and cheers for the blog response. 🙂
