Reflections

Wow, so 2014 is over and is it me or did that year go really fast.
Although I do enjoy Christmas, spending time with my family and giving presents, it's also a period of reflection and I also seem to notice what is missing from my life, I seem to be the eternal singleton (that's another story).
It's not that I hate my life, I work, have a nice house and a family that loves me, with a niece and nephew that worship me (the feelings are mutual).
It's just this is the time of year when everyone is suppose to be really happy and for me that never happens, am unsure why, the most that I am is content.
This year I have made a greater effort - I am trying to learn another language, do some online courses, trying to learn the piano, to go out more, to try to do some new things and visit my sister more often.
I am currently on my way from Cardiff (Wales) to Reading (outside London) to spend New Year's Eve with my sister and her family.
I have been advised that they will going to bed at 10pm, so the 2 hours that I see them will be great(!).
The train is really packed but instead of people reading books and magazines almost everyone is on their phone or listening to music. How times have changed that I can carry my entire music library around with me including audiobooks and podcasts.
As its January 1st I will be filled with the hope that although my circumstances will not change much next year, at least I will be slightly happier and that's all that matters.
So I am wishing you all Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a good new year. May you all have a good year with things that make you happy
