I’ve been thinking regarding the year we’re leaving behind and all the emphasis on the coming New Year and it’s got me thinking…
The last couple of years havn’t been good for me, with illness loss of a loved ones etc
It isn’t the year that is good or bad…the year just is…it’s a numerical reminder of how what time we have is slipping by us.
Guess what I’m trying to say is our “year” on the whole is what we make of it. It has been and will be what we allow it to be.
Sure there are aspects of it that are out of our control, the death of a loved one, the loss of a job, accident and illness.
But most of it grows from our actions or inaction’s, the decisions we make, choices and paths we take. It’s not any part of life that is crap, but how we look at it and most importantly of all WHAT WE LEARN FROM IT.
2016, like all the years before it has (in Angela’s style) been a rollercoaster
Year. I expect no different from 2017.
But I would just like to wish all my friends, family, colleagues, exes and enemies a very happy new year! I hope you have all you can possibly wish for and certainly all you deserve.
Strange new year wish you might think?
Not really…my friends and family have supported me through thick and thin, my colleagues have made work a pleasure, but they have all (with my enemies and exes) shaped me into who I am today and while at times that journey has been tough, heartbreaking even I am grateful that it has led me to where I am today, but more importantly to who I’m with today. I’m truly am grateful to all of you
My personal reflection is:
I’ve met some wonderful people, made some new friends,
hung on to some very good friends……lost people I love…Helped some, loved many and hurt a few but it is what it is…despite it all
I wish you all the best for the coming year and i hope our friendship will survive the coming year xxxxx
I will also like to raise a glass to the people who I love, who are no longer with us…till we meet again, one day soon I’m sure…
??HaPpY nEw YeAr?
Meet more new people starting with puds soul born tracy and mario for our lunch.
i want to the half maraton this year also
i want to volunteer more also
i want to gain more qualifications
im going to try and cure my fear of flying
i also want to do more camping and out door activities
i want to go up to Manchester and visit stacey and her new granddaughter
they may seem like little things to everyone else but after the last three years they will be massive for me im sure there are more i can add but they will do for me for now.
Some good points made ladies … I am very sorry to read of your very personal experience AB. Thank god you daughter survived. I think posting the pics of the accident might be a tad too far though … someone’s family member died in that crash. All we can do is take responsibilty for ourselves whilst driving .. sadly it’s usually the irresponsible actions of others that cause the damage. Drive safely & within the law is all we can do. I hope all that are missing someone dear get through Christmas as it’s often the hardest time of the year. I wish you all peace & Merry Christmas xx
The man’s family is fine with me showing the pics we have become friends as stupid as that sounds, we have been through an awful ordeal and the trial together which took over a year to get to court, We are both campaining to have the law changed
To remove the distinction between killing someone whilst driving & murder/ Manslauter .
Because my belief is they made a choice to drink , or take drugs then get in to a car or they chose to drive at stupid speeds,
Under UK law death by dangerous driving has a maximum gaol sentence of 14 years (CPS website)
We both do this every year to raise awarness shock-tactics maybe, but if it makes just one person stop and think then the man who died and the injurys my daughter suffered may not happen to someone else i guess.
