Happy New Year

Ok, to start with I hope everyone had an amazing New Years and I wish everyone the best in 2018!

I always struggle at the start of a new year as I feel like I should have a new years resolution of sorts, but I never get round to either deciding on one or sticking to it. So, this year, I have just decided to try and be more aware of myself and all the people around me.

So frequently at the moment, I find myself getting caught up in things that I know really are not important and I forget about the special things.

I know this sounds so cheesy but this year I really want to focus on doing things properly and to the best quality that I can. This can be the smallest things like smiling at people, it makes such a difference to have someone smile back.

Anyway, good luck to anyone who has made a resolution and to those who haven't, maybe think about being a little bit more in the moment because, as my wise mother says to me:

"If you are not present, what are you here for!"
