I've had one heck of a monster year and frankly i've longed for this day to come so badly since buds' passing that for the first time, I'm actually excited that new years has arrived. Although I know its largely just a digit change, and mostly psychological, every bit counts and I look forward to starting afresh, without forgetting the love of my life and decorating every bit i can with things he loved, even if it means a change of pink lilies every week.
There was much to be grateful for too, i jetsetted around the world and did a bunch of cool stuff I'd never thought I'd do. Unfortunately, the demise of buds overwhelmed everything else and that is what I'll remember 2013 for - not as the year i graduated, started work, underwent major dental surgery, did a moot, travelled like crazy or my sister got engaged --> it'll be the year that buds passed and the year of growing up with all the changes I didn't want to happen.
I'm extremely excited for 2014 and I couldn't be more ecstatic that it's here even with the knowledge that the next year is going to be chock full of late nights, pre-mature ageing and work pressures that i'm almost certain would test my limits.
Going into 2014,
Work as if everything depended on you, pray as if everything depended on God.
