New Year, a new start

A very belated Happy New Year to all of you reading this. I hope you had a good Christmas. Mine was great- I ate, drank (not too much, mind) and spent some quality time with the family. I also got three 2006 diaries among the presents I got-from three different people-but I wasn't too disappointed about it. You can never have too many diaries!

The dawn of a new year means that we all start making promises to change things in our lives for the better and keep to it for about a day or two before giving up. In the past, my new year's resolution has always been not to make any at all (one of the few I've really managed to keep). I'll admit I didn't really see the point of them when I was younger. However the last year or so I have started to make one or two that I felt I could really keep to, for a few months at least. One of my resolutions from last year was to start a blog sometime in the year (which I finally did in September). Once again, I've decided to make New Year's resolutions that I feel I have a real chance of sticking to.

One new year's resolution I've made is to try and plan what I write before I put it on here. There've been times while writing entries where I've had no idea of what I'm going to write, so making a plan before I start would be a good idea. Other things I've thought of include being a bit more positive about things, to learn to drive, to get out of that job of mine and to get broadband. Time will tell whether I'll have succeeded in keeping to them. At this point in time I've a good feeling I will. I will, of course, be writing about it here.
