This year I embark on Chapter 55 of my life and I don't feel any wiser or more mature than when I was enjoying Chapter 18. I am no more ready to be a grown up than I was back then. Sometimes I wonder if I will ever feel as though I have got my life together - does anyone ever feel that? If any of you do please, please let me know what it feels like! How do you know? Is there a magic moment when you suddenly realise "Wow!! I have so got my life together. I am a grown-up!"? Is there a sound track to go with this epic moment? I have a feeling that if that I ever have my "Wow" moment the only thing I will hear is a cackle!!!
Anyway, I have had a testing few months and have been very low at times recently. So I have made some changes and decided that Chapter 55 will be a memorable one. I shall spend this year concentrating on Gill and her needs, her wants, her future and her health. I shall set myself a series of new challenges for 2018 (you knew that was coming didn't you!?) but these will be a little different to my previous challenges. Each month of this year I will challenge myself to do something that falls into at least one of these categories: Something I have never done before Something that scares me Something that takes me out of my comfort zone Something from my bucket list Something I think I can't do (or something somebody else has told me I can't do) January I booked and stayed in a hotel on my own for the first time. I enjoyed it, although I did feel a little conspicuous at breakfast and had to force myself to interact with people rather than hide behind my book. February I had booked onto a bicycle maintenance course but I had to cancel due to almost cutting my finger off. However I did have an operation and that was both scary and something I haven't done before so I guess I still achieved my goal! March I have committed to meditating every day. This is proving to be more beneficial than I had anticipated and I'm hoping it will help keep me calm and zen-like as I navigate through some very choppy personal waters (I think I maybe could have phrased that better). I haven't thought of a challenge for the coming month yet. Any suggestions are welcome (keep them clean and legal please!). I'm hoping you will enjoy following my progress again this year. I have an inkling it's going to be an interesting, if somewhat bumpy, ride!!
