There is no doubt, the beginning of a New Year brings with it new direction. Today cannot be taken as just another day but instead a new approach to life. It gives us the chances to zero back our thoughts and make a fresh start.
I love new starts and so I love New Years. I do not make New Years resolutions because they are pointless for many reasons. Why bind yourself to something you cannot do naturally without a promise. If you want and are eager to make changes then the New Year gives you a marker to do that. There should be no pressure attached to achieving the goal only that the New Year gives you a place and time to commence it. If you don’t keep to the changes you want to make or you discover the old ways were better then be flexible.
Life is about adapting about changing about making each moment new and exciting. Provided we do no harm to anyone else and our focus is on our happy desires then it could only be good.
Take this New Year with a new purpose and give yourself a chance to zero back and start fresh. I do, every year and every year I add to my life enriching it in a way only I can make happen.
Have a happy and glorious 2015

Your Memory
How good is your memory? I have been ill the last couple of days and trust me it takes some doing to pull me down. Here I was on my bed – sick – and I was tested for my memory. This had nothing to do with me feeling ill, no, not at all. I was asked if I wanted something to eat, yes I said – some soup would be nice. I got a roll on lecture about how I had said at one time or another I didn’t like soup and had I forgotten. Well quiet frankly, I didn’t care and yes I had forgot but what did that have to do with me feeling like soup now?
I rolled over in a – I really don’t care – mentality and started to think. How often have we been held accountable for something we have said and forgotten and probably didn’t give a great deal of thought to? See even when I am sick my mind keeps going – so frustrating. Anyway my mind went off into never never space thinking the amount of times I have said something, then forgotten, then after being abused and only under extreme strain – remembering saying something. Wow, that was tiresome. It happens, we are very often held accountable for every comment, every movement every wink and so on. It is like having your life under a micro scope. I think we are entitled to change our mind and not be held accountable for something we did or did not say.
I said I did not like soup – then – but today I want soup. Does this make me a liar? No it is me exercising my right to change my mind, my opinion and my thoughts.
Don’t presume because someone said something once that they first of all, remembered and secondly still think the same. And not everyone has instant memory recall. It doesn’t make a person chronically forgetful it just means they are not focused on that particular issue at that particular moment. Meanwhile I made my own soup because apparently I once said I didn’t like it.

Severe Headaches
I woke up this morning with one of my severe headaches caused by sinus. I realized today that I cannot go on like this any more and have made the decision to have the operation to remove the blockage.
The headaches are more regular now and I am not living a quality of life. I am ashamed to say it has taken me this long to realize.
I have taken some medication to dull the pain for the moment, so if you are like me and are putting off making your life better because of some fear of the operation then don’t. I will be off to see my doctor in about an hour to tell him, I have had enough and I want to feel good.

Bad said about you
It is an ugly moment when you find out you have been betrayed – And making it worse – by someone who is close to you.
It is all fun and games to mock people. It can even be a buzz if that person is someone you actually love and respect – say a family member or a close friend. But what if what you said or agreed to that someone else had said got back to the victim?
Betrayal is the first word that comes to my mind. Let’s turn this around, what if something someone else said about you behind your back and you got wind of it. How would you feel? Hurt and pain are words of feelings that come to my mind.
Loyalty and genuine friendship should never be gambled with in favour of feeling like one of the crowd and agreeing to nasty gossip.
Laughing at someone behind their back digs into their dignity. It is not a matter of them finding out it is about desegregating their image. This is a very thoughtless and nasty action.
When you hear someone announcing savages accusations about someone you care about – be strong and stand up for them in their absence. Being able to speak out against nasty gossip to show your support for a friend takes character.
I would like my family and friends to stand up for me when I am unable to defend myself against vicious gossip as I would do for them.

Friends on Levels
There are many different levels of friendship. Some people we call our very best friend, or our best friend, or a good friend or just a friend. The levels do vary.
We have friends we tell everything to. Let’s face it no one tells absolutely everything about themselves to anyone. We all have that little dark corner which is assessable only to us. There are those friends we open up a little bit to. We have friends we keep stuff in a casual way.
In other words we keep friends on levels.
Keeping friends on levels lowers the gossip. Also it can be about whom you trust or who you feel secure with – telling your deep thoughts.
The responsibility of knowing intimate information about a person can be delicate. Should private information be leaked then the person that information was given to become the question of trust.
We all have close, very close friends and we have casual or general friends. We know who we can trust and we know who can cause trouble for us.
My advice is, if you truly do not want something to leak then keep it to yourself in that dark corner only you have access to. I say this, because very often friendships can turn sour and anything a person knows about you can become a cannon of bullets.
Enjoy your friendships, even let people know and feel you think highly of them but always remember – the only person you can truly trust, is yourself.

Excessive Expression
Have you been in a situation where you find yourself over expressing yourself trying to convince someone? I have on many occasions. Particularly I find myself in this type of place when I am agitated for some reason. I tend to go for over kill.
An immediate example happened to me only a couple of days ago. I was asked if I did spas. So rather than just saying no, I had to go into the whole – no and I don’t do massages or any of those alternate things. From there I kept giving examples when I am sure the person who asked me got the message loud and clear – the first time.
I have done this on many occasions. I find sometimes a simple yes or a simple no – without expanding upon the subject – is not enough. It is as though I have to go into over kill to get my point across.
For some reason guilt seems to govern my reaction. I cannot explain why, but it does. Over explanation is not necessary. We do not need to justify our decisions, our choices for any reason. We should feel secure with our answers every time.
So, when someone asks you something or to invite you somewhere don’t feel it is necessary to over explain your answer – a simple yes or no with perhaps a nice thankyou should be enough.
