In the blink of an eye the year 2011 came to an end - and boy was I
caught off guard. In the blissful aftermath of Christmas, I struggled
to keep track of what day of the week we were up to - and as for
actual dates....I had NO idea where we were at! Quite frankly, I'd barely got
my head around Christmas suddenly arriving and then going again without
giving me time to suck it all in. New Years Eve jumped out from behind the door with a big fat BOO! and so consequently wasn't particularly eventful (if I'd had d a y s to plan something it would have been soooo much better). But that's OK, it is what it is. We
didn't have a rollicking party or anything (let's face it, that's hardly
my style), but instead were blessed with good company, and the
amusement of watching nieces and nephews playing all sorts of creative
noisy games - keeping us on our toes with their trampoline antics!
Is it just me or does it feel as though every year passes more
quickly? Truly. I get older, the years speed up.
And here we are, on the first day of a new year. I'm on track with what
day it is, so that's a good start. We don't own a 2012 calendar yet, which means I'll probably be completely lost again mid-way through the week. But
that's what holidays are all about, right!
Looking back through our year in photos I decided to pick out those which capture some of my favourite moments in 2011. It was so hard to choose, and I got VERY carried away (and have probably chewed up my upload limit for the whole month). But gee, looking back I can see clearly what a great life we have, and how fortunate we are!
Wishing you all a very Happy New Year!
May 2012 be filled with
love, laughter and good times xx
