Manifesto

I've been thinking so much about resolutions and this whole idea of a new year. In a strange way, our low-key seeing in of 2013 was just right and more memorable than if we'd done elaborate things. It's fair to say that my shortlist of reasons why I was happy to say goodbye to 2012 is pretty long. Now, things just feel ready to become rather than begin. My ideas are clear and I feel content in so many ways. That contentment I'm feeling now is the ultimate energising foundation for raring at life like the hungry caterpillar I've described above. Hooray for revolution rather than resolve or reform..

And just to be clear, there will be no butterfly emerging from the cocoon metaphors over here. Or hopefully not anywhere, for that matter. Let's just stamp 2013 as the year we make our mark. xx
