2009 Begins here!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I don't do resolutions - what's the point? Everyone has the same ones every year - lose weight, exercise more etc etc. Every year they repeat them proving they've not achieved them and are unlikely to ever do so.

I like Ali Edwards "One Word" idea. I didn't pick a word last year but last night just a couple of hours before the year turned one popped into my mind.

CREATE

Not just the arty crafty type of creation that this blog is supposed to be about but creation as an act, a choice, a positive force in every aspect of life. What a powerful word.
