Jan 1st, 2012 - a day for wishes not resolutions

New year is traditionally a time for resolutions. Things you hope you will be able to achieve come the end of the year. On January, 1st, while grazing upon my immediate family, at a family lunch, I realised for the umpteenth time, that I am truly blessed.

There is always room for more.

Rather than set myself countless resolutions, that I will immediately forget or break, I've set myself New Year wishes; inspired by the 'Believe' Christmas sign I saw outside of Macy's, New York, in 2010. I have to believe this year will be better that 2011, so while the family were talking, updating Facebook, and moving the plates to take photos, I drafted my 12 wishes for 2012.

My 2012 wish list

Here they are in no particular order, I wish:

1. I end 2012 with the same number of family and friends, making exceptions for new additions

2. When my niece arrives, mother and baby will be in good health

3. I continue to fight-off on-going physical or mental health issues

4. I continue to meet and work with many more inspiring people

5. I explore more of the UK, enjoying the idiosyncrasies of the many different towns and cities

6. I travel to new countries and learn new languages

6. I find and work with people who will help me improve Diverse Traveller taking to the next level
