It is the dawn of a brave new era. One where adventures begin, foes are defeated and battles won in honour. Sounded dramatic. But now maybe it's actually melodramatic.
It i the early hours of January the 1st 2013. I am in bed. Alone, but for the cat, who has shirked me and chosen to stare at a streetlamp from the damp windowsill instead. The treacherous little git will be back in a while to leech my body heat no doubt.
Lion-o and I, have spent the evening lounging around the living room, washing trashy TV and eating utter crap. We saw the New Year in by watching other people's fireworks and Chinese lanterns illuminate the sky. For a while, Lion-o stared at a brighter than usual star, waiting for an explosion that he felt was inevitable. Twenty minutes later he gave up and slinked away to his bowl.
Just for once, I'm not going to placate myself with other-enthused platitudes that "this will be my year". Nope. i'm going to simply accept that this will be A year, and that whatever happens, happens. No second guessing, no "Why me?" I'm just getting on with it. Head down, eyes on the prize, focused. Anything that happens this year will be because I made it happen.
