Pre-birthday Ramblings...

I'm sure I'm not the only one, but every year as my birthday approaches, I get all maudlin and wonder where the last year has gone. It's not just me, right? 

This year is sadly no different. Don't get me wrong, a lot of good things have happened in the last year. I've gained a lot of knowledge and confidence in my work. I've done 11 months of driving lessons, passed my theory test first time and booked my practical test (no, I'm not telling you when it is! ;) ) To a great extent, I have come to peace with who I am and where I want my life to go, which is a nice feeling. 

There is still so much I am not at peace with though, in that I want to change things and I'm struggling to do so. The never ending house move being top of the list of course! Second thing being my health and well being. I do think sorting number one out will give me a huge amount of freed up head space to deal with number two. It will also mean I can get everything organised and start some hobbies as well as exercise and healthy eating. 

I want to be more than the woman who is always online. I want to create things. Give things. Make others happy. Be significant rather than insignificant!

Part of my plan to achieve this involves creating a list of 40 things to do before I'm 40, which I am excited about publishing on Tuesday. I'm going to set up a new blog dedicated to this list and my endeavours to achieve everything on it. I will still be using this blog for everyday highs and lows though :)

I'm also having a couple of weeks off the driving lessons because the whole thing has been seriously frustrating me! Hopefully not worrying about whether my lesson is going to be cancelled will free me up to concentrate on other things for a couple of weeks! I especially need that because of the impending change of payroll controller in work. I'm both nervous and excited about it. Change is good, yes? So I'm gonna do my very best to embrace it! With any luck, the work changes will encourage me to change my personal habits in work, such as taking lunchtime walks and not snacking so much. Fingers crossed! 

But anyway, I've got a few more days to go before I rack up another year, so I'd best enjoy them hey! 

Have a good weekend folks!
