Goodbye 2012, I can almost see 2013. It’s looking good. I feel enormously positive for 2013. At the beginning of 2012, I was a bit stuck and hesitant, I think. A lot has happened in the last year, overarching 2012 reminded me that life is precious and too short.
Now more than ever I feel it’s important to Live Life Now. As a family we’ve taken a huge leap and relocated, leaving much behind. I’m sure there will be times ahead when I desperately miss friends and feel isolated, lonely even. I feel wholeheartedly that we have made the right decision. In 3 weeks we’ve been here it already feels very right, despite illness and rain, rain and more rain.
I feel in a good place both in a physical sense and in my head. 2013 is about possibilities, making things happen, finding opportunities, being braver in order to make our life here. Life is what you make it. We’ve moved Noo from all that he knows, it’s up to us to make this change good. An hour of ‘me time’ this afternoon and I sat in a cafe with a blank sheet of paper and explored possibilities for the year ahead. It is very much a blank sheet, up to us, up to me to fill it with dreams, good things and turn those into reality. I want to achieve and I am in a space to make that happen. I’m going to do things I’ve meant to do and haven’t. My big thing is: I’m going to let go of self-limits (the thoughts in my head which hold me back).
2013 is about exploring the possibilities of a new city and a new life here.
Tonight I shall be celebrating the good things of 2012, I don’t want to focus on the negatives only the positives and look forward to an exciting year ahead.
I will take time to remember someone very positive Kerry at Multiple Mummy.
Taken too soon but Kerry will live long in many hearts.

What are your hopes and dreams?
May 2013 bring you good things. See you on the other side. 2013 here we come. Best wishes and happiness for the year ahead.
Your words and hopes ring true with me. I agree that we all need to remind ourselves that the time to live is now. Yet I find it so easy to put things off & to doubt myself. Must. stop. that. now.
Happy New Year, gemma. Let’s make it a good one, eh?
yes lets make it a good one! Happy 2013!
A Happy New Year and big sheds loads of positivity to you for 2013. I love that you sat down with a sheet of blank paper – I may have to do the same, sometimes life flies by so quickly that before you know it another year has passed!
Exactly – all I have to do now is not lose the sheet of paper! enjoy 2013 Annie.
Happy new year lovely! I think I am in your new neck of the woods so let me know if you fancy hooking up for coffee! (I would normally ALWAYS suggest wine but am preggers dammit
). Can reach me via the magical wide wide world of web at jbmumofone@yahoo.com or on twitter of course!
We must meet -soon!
It will be lovely having you ’round the corner’. Just shout if you need anything. Let me know when you’re up for that coffee!
Another coffee date – fab!
I hope you and your family and a wonderful new year in your new surroundings. I hope you fill your blank sheet of paper with wonderful memories in 2013!
Thank you and wishing the very best to you and your family x
I had my notepad out today but never got around to writing in it. This time last year I really didn’t want to say goodbye to 2011 tonight I am mentally putting two fingers up to 2012. May 2013 be kinder and a positive year for all of us.
Can’t believe you have moved near the area we are hoping to move to!!!
Happy New Year X X X
I hope 2013 is kinder and brings positive things – maybe our paths may even cross this year!
This is the year it all comes together. I can feel it in my bones. Happy new Year Gemma and lots of love xxx.
Thank you so much – always there with wonderful words – it’s appreciated.
Wishing you the very best of everything for 2013!
2013 is going to be an awesome year. You’ve set yourselves up well for great things to come. Happy New Year m’dear, lots of love xxx
*very happy face* am glad we have a plan to meet up this year! it will be a blast. x
And I hope this year is a wonderful one for you! I too need to sit down and focus on what this year is about – I do that every year – I don’t feel the year has begun until I do that – a bit like making the bed every morning! X.
Did you do that? I am not good at planning a head – I hoping this year will be different. Best Wishes for 2013. x
Yes, life is definitely what you make it, so we all need to make it a good one!
Exactly!
Still remember sitting with you in that cafe in that garden centre where you told me to to do just this! I am going to eeek out an hour to do it. Wish you were nearer to meet for a peak district coffee, but still I am so pleased for YOU! x
Am sad we are now so far away – but we will meet up!
Did you make your plan? X
What a lovely post. Letting go of self-limits sounds like something I should do as well. I hope this year is wonderful for you Gemma. xx
thank you Emma and for you. I just know Science Sparks is going to be amazing! X
Wishing you a very happy and successful 2013… I am a firm believer that stepping out of your comfort zone from time to time is a good thing! Emma

You are my relocating Queen – having done this in my own language within the same country I can only step back with awe and admire your travels even more. Best wishes for 2013 X
Happy New Year! An exciting year – and one in which we must arrange a South blogger meet up! x
oh we must
It’s going to be a good year, I just know it – but then maybe that is me letting go of my usual self-limiting thoughts, something I’ve been working on for a while too. It can take awful things like the sudden passing of Kerry to remind ourselves that life is fleeting and precious, so what’s the point in snookering ourselves through negative thought patterns. Here’s to a bright and positive new year for us all.
Thank you for your lovely comment and true words – Kerry was and is a reminder of the grabbing the positives. X
Happy New Year Gemma – hope it hold all you hope for and more X
