Happy 2014

2014 begins. As always, I have a good feeling. And I refuse to believe that this year will be anything but spectacular. As far as I’m concerned, (and despite a vicious food poisoning episode on New Year’s eve) the year’s already started off brilliantly. 

But before I bid a complete adieu to 2013, I thought I’d chronicle some yays and nays of the year just gone.

1.     I never did my Yoga Teacher’s Training. The timing just wasn’t right. Ever. I have a feeling that 2014 will be the year. I just hope the kind folks at the Sivananda centre don’t write me off as that loony who keeps writing to us but never shows up for the training.

2.     I did an awesome trip to Greece with 5 wonderful women, each of whom is a special kind of Goddess (in keeping with the Greek theme) and incredibly fun. Women friends rule.

3.     I rode a quad bike for the first time and loved it (courtesy Greece trip).

4.     I bought my Macbook Air, a constant companion nowadays.

5.     I made some quirky new friends, some of them most unexpected. And I’m very grateful for having chanced upon them.

6.     Sadly, a special friend flowed out of my life as well.

7.     I saw my first ever double rainbow J (If you look closely at the picture you'll just about see the second one)

8.     I didn’t achieve my many ambitious fitness goals. Mostly because I hemmed and hawed my way through getting around to them. All fitness efforts this year will be directed towards completing my Yoga Training.

9.     I didn’t do as much writing as I wanted to. BUT, I did start a blog. Again. And managed to write a little bit. Plus, I landed a fun writing project, which I’m excited about.

10. Work was good, and terrible, and ok and then good again. I expect big things this year. Unfortunately I’m quite sure I won’t be able to put the word ‘big’ before increment L

11. I had a fabulous new haircut and got many compliments for it J

12. Phala got married. Woohoo. And we have a new member in the family.

13. I never did start that food blog with the roomie. Big Fail. And we have video evidence of this being a 2013 resolution.

14. The roomie and I also never got married (another 2013 resolution). Boys, there’s hope for you, yet.

15. I went to the Ajmer Dargah Sharif with my 2 besties J. It was a quickie trip and also my only train trip in 2013.

16. I did one thing that scared me. I'm not telling.

17. I got 2 more tattoos.

18. I travelled to Dubai for the first time.

All in all, a pretty good year.

And now on to 2014.
