So, by and by 2014 arrived quietly and stealthily into my life and the euphoria which wasn't there in the first place died down. I had grand plans to write a sweet and fantastic post welcoming the new year but not having a computer to call my own, I postponed the post. Little did I realise that postponing a post is almost like forgetting it. These days when posts do arise, there is no keyboard to tap in and hence I seek refuge in my wee journal. It is quite cathartic to see pages filling up rapidly but the itch to read comments remains unfulfilled. I have forgotten reading and replying to comments. Well, that does not mean I don't have any plans for 2014. I do have. Like everyone, I also vocally and virtually scream that I don't make any resolutions, far from it, I make resolutions every single day consistently. Some infamous ones are:
1. Stopping sugar completely (Wait! Stopping anything white - rice, maida, sugar, milk . . . And so far I have managed it by baby steps)
2. Stop the past from pulling me down (Half the time I'm half-bent by the load!)
3. Stop worrying and analysing details too much (Ah, if wishes were horses)
4. To stop listing my weaknesses in social media (I will not go beyond three)
Well, anything new always excites and makes me savour the joy of living and a new year certainly is one such time.
Hope your year started off well and that you didn't make any resolutions like me.
Cheers to us and our blogs.

Good luck Susan.
ReplyDeleteYes, we all need to make some promises for this brand new year for our selves and our happiness!
Dear Ruchira. How right you are! Yes, we do need to make some promises for our sake. Hope you have a lovely 2014!
DeleteNo, I made no resolutions, though I like your idea of making them daily. I like your success with white food. My health would probably improve tremendously if I did that. But I will begin with baby steps too.
ReplyDeleteHope the New Year brings you much joy and many blessings.
Happy new you, dear Myrna. Wishing you much love and happiness in 2014 and always :)
DeleteGood luck with your resolutions Susan! Why this hatred for white :P?
ReplyDeleteThe purity of the white is too intimidating to me, dear Yuvika. They stay put in my body and aid many friendly strangers to permanently reside in my system. And, moreover, black is in, not white ;)
DeleteHappy new year and Go for it Deborah :-)
ReplyDeleteLove & hugs
Big hugs back, dear fellow traveller. Love and joy to you in this new year and always.
DeleteGood luck to you!
ReplyDeleteThanks dear Muthukumar. Wishing you a splendid 2014 as well.
DeleteHappy new year, Susan.I also do not believe in new year resolutions, because I cannot manage to stick to them. One day resolution seems to be a good alternative. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteDear Usha, a wonderful and blessed new year to you as well. Big hugs and much love always :)
Delete2 and 3 are very much the same for me too ...
ReplyDeleteSame pinch. Have a fantastic new year, Akash.
DeleteMay 2014 be full of sunshine, smiles, good health and lots of interesting blog-posts :)
ReplyDeleteThanks dear Mahesh. Wishing you a blessed, peaceful, calm and inspiring 2014.
DeleteEvery year it's the same resolution, just be happy and live your life the best way you can... Happy New Year, have a great 2014.
ReplyDeleteInspite of the sameness, there is some newness, I reckon. You have a fabulous 2014 as well :)
DeleteEvery year it's the same resolution, just be happy and live the best life you can... Have a wonderful 2014, Susan.
ReplyDeleteIt looks as if the resolutions are mine! I am so familiar with them all! But I don't write them down to remind me even!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to all of us!
Ah, Sandhya, we all share stories and joys! I wrote this post on a whim and now seeing the same feels a tad weird. You have a wonderful 2014.
DeleteHappy and blessed New Year to you, Susan! Oh, and don't be too hard on yourself. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks dear Martha. It is wonderful to see his grace working in my life.
DeleteJoy always to you and yours :)
Yip...no resolutions. I hope it is a good one for you and yours!
