Reflections Of The Past Year.

Last year brought every emotion I've ever known into my life.

The baby in my belly that gave us sleepless nights,
and worries.
At one point she threatened to come three months early
I spent months not allowed to excite myself in any way, shape, or form (yes that even meant no sex) I wish I'd discovered Opuss at that point.

The joys of motherhood! Not to mention the pain but we won't go there, (at this point I'll give myself a pat on the back for sticking to my 'no pain relief plan') and yes I'd do it all again...does that make me a sadist I wonder.

We had family fall outs, family engagements and even a beautiful wedding that was in Mexico (great excuse for a holiday) I also now have a very good relationship with my older sister....we had the worst teenage cat fights ever, mostly down to her being a goody two shoes and me being a bit of a rebel.

I learnt to deal with the hurt and pain that previous years had brought, and feel like a stronger more determined person from it.

I've helped a friend get through the break up of a physically abusive relationship,
and watched her grow in strength and self confidence, but if any guy wants to date her he needs to get through me first!

Last year also showed me what amazing friends I have, bonds were tested that's for sure,
but none were broken. I've learnt it's not what you have in life but those around you that makes it worthwhile.
