I have neglected my blog a bit over the last few months, but I plan to start writing much more regularly again. Last January my song-a-day project really helped me through a rather bleak time of year, so although it may be a bit last minute, I am hoping to come up with something that I can write about this January too. In the meantime, I would like to pass on a sentiment stolen from a friend's facebook page:
I could get all philosophical and argue that every tomorrow can be the first blank page of a new future, or a new journey, but of course it is especially at this time of year we think about it. So to all my friends, both online and in 'real life', I wish you a good life story in 2014. Let's look forward with optimism:
January is a really hard time for me. This January actually marks 8 years since I first got ill - my life has not been 'normal' since then. Every year I wish that things will get better this year... but today mum and I pulled the wishbone and both got a small bit and the big bit broke off and fell on the floor! Anyway, as a personal boost, I've decided this January is going to be musical inspiration month and I am going to pick a song a day and some select lyrics that inspire me. (Suggestions welcomed too!) Hopefully it will get me through this month, provide lots of positive inspiration and happy thoughts. Starting off with a wish for a very happy 2013 for everyone, courtesy of Leona Lewis:
So
what if it hurts me
So
what if I break down
So what if this world just throws me off the edge;
My feet run out of ground
I've gotta find my place
I wanna hear my sound
Don't care about all the pain in front of me
Cause I'm just trying to be
HAPPY
Just wanna be happy
YEAH
