Resolute

Happy new year! Where did all of that time go? It's time for me to dust out the cobwebs and give this blog a good old rattling up. I've been glum for some time and am finally claiming back my time. It's a funny thing - the more I need to find happiness in the everyday things, the harder it is. But less dilly-dallying, and on with the happy things in life.

New years mean new resolutions and new jobs, and fitness and eating more healthy things and exfoliating more often, reading fewer trashy books and hoovering once a week at least. And the list goes on and on and on, and most of them are all out of the window by the time Valentine's rolls around and you realise you still can't fit into that outfit you wanted to be able to and you really wish you'd dusted and learnt to cook before inviting him around for dinner.

I say: screw it. Find a good one that ticks a lot of the right sort of boxes, and stick to it. Make it fun.

Like me. I'm getting out of bed early every morning and showering so that I can't go back to sleep (unless I want a damp bed). And also making sure I always eat breakfast. At the same time.

Apples and kiwis and grapefruits are all a big go for shower food.. It makes them way more fun - juicier even, and you get to cleanse your palette every so often and get the zing from the first taste all over again. How very classy! And fun. I'm definitely sticking to this.



Just as an FYI, it doesn't work so well with cereal, or bacon and eggs on toast. So I guess I'm adding 'eat more fruit and veg' to my list.
