This is the point where we stop saying two thousand and something and say twenty something
As we enter the new year, how many people will continue to say two thousand and twelve, two thousand and thirteen? I expect most of us will short hand it to twenty twelve, twenty thirteen, twenty fourteen, all the way to the year three thousand.
I never make New Year resolutions as I believe change should occur at a time appropriate to one’s situation. Having said that, we are forever adapting to fit in with life; our behaviour changes depending on whom we are with and our preconceived ideas can be altered in an instant when we’re faced with the reality of a situation.
It is difficult to remain constant in an ever-evolving world.
I hope to evolve with it.
Perhaps we should rename the resolutions to hopes.
I have plenty of those. Thank goodness for 366 days.
Two thousand and eleven has been a year of positive change for me.
I love singing, but it was the right time to rest from it. I’m enjoying my family life, my established and new friendships and my writing.
The writing community provides one of the most supportive and nuturing environments I have come across, right from our local writing group, Off The Cuff, to the national Romantic Novelists’ Association. Thank you, my writerly friends, for taking such good care of me.
My family too have supported my writing efforts and I love that they don’t glaze over when I’m rambling on about a new character or a problem with a plot. I have some very good friends like that too.
I embraced Twitter this year. I wonder why I didn’t take to it two years ago, when I first signed up, but maybe it wasn’t the right time. Used properly, it is a wonderful thing.
Two thousand and eleven was a year of learning and listening and realising my family and friends have no problem with me being me.
I think maybe I did some evolving.
Well, it’s almost New Year’s Eve, so I shall wish you all a Happy New Year and look forward to hearing about your hopes for twenty twelve.
Thank you for staying with me.

New Year & Hello & Writing.
Hi Laura – followed you over from 100k/100days! We have some things in common except I cannot sing but I write, make cards and know a few things about being disabled and accepting me as me.
Yes, it is twenty twelve now – hubby and I had that discussion at New Year. Love idea of hopes, not resolutions. My big aim (other than creativity in forms I am meddling in) is to be more assertive, less certain everyone is thinking this, tat or the other about me. As thy probably aren’t and I worry too much.
Good to meet you, Laura!

I have a feeling that 2012, whichever way you say it, is going to be the year that you become a published author…and well deserved it will be too!! Best wishes for next year to all your family.
