"You Just Never Know...."


So I spent as much of yesterday as I could sitting in a quiet corner at home (very occasionally I manage to find one of those!), with a new journal, a stack of inspiring January/February 2011 magazines....and my thoughts.

For whatever reason I know that I need 2011 to be a really good year, a life-changing year....and I do feel as though I can make that happen. I can just sense it....I think have my groove back!


My Grand Plan does of course include the usual lose x lbs, read more and visit the gym more than just occasionally....but those are small things compared to the other plans on my list.

I don't usually write a journal but it struck me that, as well as my blog, it would be a good way of keeping track of my progress and my achievements and of exploring my thoughts.....so from today I will be keeping one :)

....the proverbial bowl of cherries....altho I think I prefer Forrest Gump's box of chocolates analogy!

My friend Rhiannon over at Hey Gorgeous wrote a post a few weeks ago about how her grandmother always used to say "You never know....". For some reason it really resonated with me and so I am going to adopt that as my mantra for this year.....because you just do never know what might be next for you or round the corner - and what might happen if you just say yes or explore something a little bit further.....


Quail left me a comment yesterday which included a wonderful quote by John Cage (via Bruce Mau)

"Not knowing where to begin is a common form of paralysis. Begin anywhere."




So, I am ready for 2011.  And as part of my travel plans for this year, I booked flights yesterday to Italy for February, woo hoo!!
The adventure starts here.
