Bye to 2013....and thankyou so very much.

Good evening,

It is very nearly that time again...just one more day to go and we shall be saying farewell to 2013 and Hellllooooo to 2014!!

2013 has been quite an eventful year - a year in which I found permanent employment with a pension scheme (obvs not in the 3rd Sector).  I have a gorgeous VW camper van again which I adore.  My lady and I are I believe more solid with each other than ever before and have been together as 'an item' over 5 years now.  My mother moved from Surrey up to Northampton (something she said she would never do!!) and what's more she is very happy here in her lovely bungalow.  My daughter has found the real love of her life, a very lovely and caring young man whom we all love (yep, including her brothers').  My eldest has changed his job after being headhunted to one with a far higher salary and my younger son has overcome difficulties with his lady and seems to be 'on track' for a secure relationship with her, she really is the only one I have known him to love so intensely.  He has also given us some wonderful news today which proves that true justice can be achieved through the power of positive thought.  Following on from that I have found the secret to a successful life using many Buddhist based beliefs and being proactive in creating positive energy to put out into the world to stimulate the universal law of attraction. 

What a year dear Reader, we had a real Summer, yes a REAL Summer, hot weather, gorgeous times AND the WInter (so far) has been very kind to us, not too cold, in fact rather mild for the season....no snow (yet!) I have had an op to help my toes and they are healing nicely and will be great for next Summer and flip flops etc.

WOW!! am I grateful?? You bet your bottom dollar I am.  I am grateful for absolutely everything in my life and show me anything you want and I will find a positive in it.  I am excited about the possibilities that all of this has opened up for me/us.  Of course I am trying to educate as I go along and my lovely lady who can also do with more positive influence in her life is trying to achieve this also....so on to next year 2014 and we shall start with a New Year dinner that I shall be putting on for my lot on 1st January 2014.

I am thankful for everything, and I love absolutely everything, loving the St. Francis prayer....
