Just another year

So another year has ended and another year has begun. Last year was mixed to say the least. It started off pretty bad but towards the end got better. I turned 30 which was a little distressing but I think I have gotten used to it now. It's only taken a couple of months. I started a new job which has it's ups and downs but so does everything. I upgraded my accommodation and downgraded my location. So what will this year hold? The same probably. Last year I decided I wanted to start going to the gym. That ended pretty quickly before I'd even started when I slipped a disc. One of the most painful things you can injure yourself. I don't think I'll reignite that plan anytime soon. What I have done is requested to try marshalling at Silverstone. I like Motorsport so it makes sense to do something associated to the thing I enjoy. I may hate it but on the other hand I may love it. For Christmas I received the Great British Bake Off cookbook and decided that I would bake my way through it. I then began watching Julie & Julia and realised that my plan mirrored the film minus the blog. I may give it a go anyway. You never know I may tap into some unknown talent but I sincerely doubt it. I don't make New Years resolutions because they always get broken. So far I haven't started smoking which is great despite the temptation being high at times. The only thing I would like to do is tick off a few things on my bucket list. Most of them involve travelling so I doubt I will achieve many of them. I feel like I sound negative but I like to think I'm being realistic. I'd rather not have the disappointment of failing to achieve things. At least with a bucket list I have an unspecified amount of time to complete them. So this year I have no plans really. I have no burning desire to do anything specific. Instead I will see how things go. Sometimes the best things are those which are unexpected.
