I've never been a great lover of New Year or New Year Celebrations. I'd rather just curl up with a good book and a glass of wine and let the witching hour pass me by. As I enter 2010 I'm very conscious that it will be a landmark year for me on a personal level but I'm trying not to think too hard about what that means and the changes it will entail.
As far as this blog is concerned I will have two things to celebrate in 2010 - my 500th post and believe it or not my 5th year of blogging - I wrote my first post and pressed the publish button with great trepidation on 14th March 2005. I wonder if I could manage to get to my 500th post on 14th March this year - I'm going to try and I'm going to do something special on that day too - so I'm going to make that one of my New Year's resolutions along with the usual lose weight and get more exercise ones; unlike the others I hope it will be one that I am able to keep.
I want to thank everyone who visits here; those of you who just stop by to read occasionally, those who kindly follow my blog and those who take the time to leave such wonderful comments - it means a great deal to me and I appreciate it so much. I hope you all have a Happy and Healthy New Year and good fortune throughout 2010.
Wow, that is a great accomplishment, Rosie! Cheers to the New Year:)
ReplyDeleteWishing you the happiest of New Years! I am glad we are friends!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Rosie. I hope it is filled with all you want it to be. x
ReplyDeleteRosie, you were one of the very first visitors to my blog. I can well remember how strange it felt to publish the first few posts and how exciting it was to connect with others. I shall look forward to visiting in the New Year and discovering interesting places on my doorstep. Maybe we could have a celebratory oatcake on your 500 post?
ReplyDeleteI wish you and your blog all the very best for the New Year and hope that you rise to all the challenges that you face with your usual gusto!!
I'm not a great fan of New Year either but nevertheless Happy New Year! I hope the year will bring many good things for you and that whatever the changes are they will turn out well.
ReplyDeleteA very happy new year to you,Rosie! ;-)
ReplyDeleteHi Rosie! I wish you and your family a wonderful and healthy 2010! xxx
ReplyDeleteI'm not really a big fan of New Year celebrations either! I sat and watched tv last night with a bottle of champagne at midnight and that was good enough for me! Wishing you much happiness for 2010.
