Another New Year is here!

Around this time I tend to start reflecting on previous years and the things I've have done in life, both personal and professional. It's also a good time to sit down and review future goals and ambitions, again not just in a professional manor, but also in a more personal one. Many people like me take this time of year to attempt to act on those new year resolutions!! I'm determined to run a full marathon this year, hoping to complete the Portland Marathon in October. I'm also going to try to keep in contact with family and friends more back home (UK), not just my mum, but my brothers, sisters and mates too! I've gotten really bad staying in touch lately and with the likes of Skype, email, phone all at one's fingertips, it's not hard staying in touch! My final goal is to pick up a good book more often... I love reading and find that it really takes me away to a special place "my me time". I just don't read enough these days!

I asked Tricia about any resolutions she might have, and after the ten minutes she spent laughing at me, she then gave me a big smile and said that if anything she'd love to spend more time with her two adorable children, as well as spending more time working in her garden... (huh?? hello, we live in Oregon!).

One thing Tricia and I would like to do is to wish everyone a very happy and prosperous New Year!

All the best for 2011.  

Cheers!
