2013 - New Year Resolutions


2013, you are just around the corner. And that scares me just a little. I’ll tell you why. There will be so many changes for me. I’m not the biggest fan of change, but I’m finally coming to terms with the fact that I need to embrace it, because it will change me for the better. Opening my life up to new experiences. I’ll be flying the nest in September. Off to University (it’s all dependent on whether I get the grades, of course!) so I’m a little hesitant, naturally.

With change creeping up on me, I’ve decided to share my New Year’s Resolutions with you all. 

Maisie’s 2013 Resolutions
Laugh. A lot.
Write your own personal mission statement.
Go to Glasgow, Scotland.
Read all those books that are still brand new but you’ve never got around to reading.
Drink a lot of tea.
Be with those who really make you see the value of your own self.
Take a road trip.
Go to Paris
Be fearless (at least as much as you can be)
Volunteer for charity.
Cycle a half marathon in aid of charity.
Finally write that novel.
Appreciate all the golden moments.
Do not fear getting hurt.
Make the best of your situation.
Go ice skating.
Trust those who know you best.

What will your 2013 resolutions?

December, how I love you so...

Brrrr! It's freezing here!

As my dear Daddy keeps saying "It's proper winter weather!"

I couldn't agree with him more. When the days draw to a close quickly and it's dark by around four in the afternoon, that's when I get excited knowing it's perfectly acceptable to cuddle up on the couch with a steaming cup of hot chocolate and watch some Christmas classics.

Recently, I've discovered a newfound love in terms of a Christmas film. It's A Wonderful Life is now one of my absolute favourite Christmas films. I discovered by love for the classic black and white films through watching It's A Wonderful Life. If you've never watched it, I would highly recommend doing so, I can't believe I waited til last Saturday night to watch it for the first time.

Now, you can probably tell I love Christmas, and I really do. I think it's the most wonderful time of year, where people are so jolly and cheery without any reason other than the fact it's Christmas.

Some things I'd recommend doing this Christmas:

  • Decorate! (I even decorated my wheelchair for the holiday season!)
  • Make Christmas cookies!
  • Smile and wish people a "Merry Christmas"
  • Drop spare change in charity collection tins.
  • Wrap your gifts
  • Make paper snowflakes (I still love doing this, even now!)
  • Drink hot chocolate.
  • Watch Elf
  • Make plans with friend/family member(s) to go and look at all the gorgeous Christmas lights.
  • Volunteer your time to your favourite charities 
  • Wear Christmas socks (this is a MUST!)
  • Spend a whole day or two (or even a week, if you're feeling especially festive) wearing a headband with reindeer ears on!
  • Watch Elf whilst wearing your reindeer ears!
See you all soon & Merry Christmas!
