Happy New Year!
I hope you all had a marvellous Christmas… we did 
As planned, we went for a picnic up a large hill, come bloomin’ mountain near Rothbury…
It’s called ‘The Crag’ at Simonside…
…and was quite a trek – but very wonderful and enjoyable when we got to the top.
Amazingly enough we met loads people up there too!
Anyone would have thought it was a Sunday afternoon stroll in Summer
Even though the weather was very cold and still – with plenty of frost.
But the sun shone and the clouds stayed away even if my fingers were stinging with cold after eating my butties on the wet bench near the top.
Ham and English mustard, in case you are wondering, to keep out that chill
Isn’t it wonderful how food tastes so much better when it’s eaten outside.
DC sprinted to the top of the Crag, and I mean sprinted, as you do, and took some more photos of the views.
It was very like the Swiss Alps or Austria in summer…
Beautiful and fresh!
We will definately be going again… maybe tomorrow while everyone else stays at home nursing their headaches
So, if you can’t manage a walk either – take a look at some of the photos we took…
We didn’t have a Christmas dinner per se – I just did a simple steak and chips, which was quick, easy and not to many dishes… ha ha ha!!!
But I did make a tiny gesture towards Christmas – I’m the only one who likes a bit of Christmas pudding, so I had a little one all to myself…
And a tiny piece of Christmas cake from Tesco’s too
Chris and DC were not altogether left out however – I did a large fresh cream and raspberry victoria sponge for them…
Although I did help to finish it off with them… well it was Christmas!!!
Okay then, today is that day… the day of expectation, excitement, energy, vigor…
Today you start to plan your future for the next year…
To dream and imagine all that it could be…
So have you done it yet???
You know, the thing you put off for the rest of the year generally…
Come on, you know what I mean… YOUR GOALS LIST… or you could call it you New Year’s Resolutions ha ha ha!!!
Well, you’re probably sat at your desk right now – with a pen and paper to hand no doubt, so do it.
No excuses…
And yes we have done ours this morning, after our morning power walk
Yes, I know it can be an effort, but it’s well worth it to clarify where you want to go and who you want to be by this time next year…
Then give it a Reiki boost and put it somewhere safe…
So, on to tonight – New Year’s Eve
We actually go to bed as usual and have found that the year changes with or without us getting silly
But if you are planning on hitting the sherry and going to a good party – have an outragous time, be over the top, whoop it up, and get it out of your system… ha ha ha!!!
Really…just do it!
But… Je regret rien! (excuse my french…)
Just be you… the biggest, bestest, beautifulest, funniest, smartest, sharpest, brightest, wisest, you, you can possibly be…
Really…just do it!
And make a wish to remain so for the next year too
Really…just do it!
Taste the freedom of expressing yourself…
Taste the magic of who you are…
Really… just do it!
And know it is always so – if you make a wish
Nothing out there is restraining you… honest.
Nothing out there is inhibiting you… truly.
Really… just do it!
Stop resisting being you
Remember… you don’t need sherry/whatever to release you.
You don’t need a party as an excuse… new year or otherwise.
You just need the courage to Love yourself enough
So come on… just do it!
Have a totally brilliant time whatever you are doing.
But please do it quietly… ha ha ha!!!
Some of us are sleeping
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Judith.
