New Year Resolutions

I don't do New Year Resolutions at all. Instead I make wishes. I used to make these wishes quietly to myself and then last year someone introduced the idea of writing the wishes onto Chinese Lanterns and sending them skywards. 

I attempted to do that last year but the rain and wind saw to it that the lanterns and my wishes never left the ground. 

My wishes were: 

1. To be loved

2. To stay Myeloma free 

3. To be published 

4. To make my first radio documentary 

The two most important ones were granted (1 and 2) and I am grateful to be starting 2014 having celebrated another year being cancer free and having celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary. 

Wishes 3 and 4 are still under development and the ball is firmly in my court on those.

This year's wishes are:

1. To stay myeloma free 

2. To have a year of health and happiness in our home 

3. To stay employed 

4. To rekindle old friendships and not allow myself to be taken for a ride by people masquerading as "friends" 

5. Wishes (3 and 4) from last year

So here's to a year of dreams and wishes coming true for me and anyone reading this.
