Post #38: Making Wishes

Christmas might be for family, but New Year is for friends. This year Sophie, Amelia and I spent the new year (or Silvester, in this part of the world) in Davos, Switzerland. Cold snow, hot chocolate and lots of flirting with hot ski instructors. The perfect start for what will be a perfect year.

I’m a great believer in resolutions. Well, they’re not so much resolutions as making a Wishlist for the year. So what’s on my Wishlist for 2015?

Exercise More
A no-brainer. I'm not going to be a twenty something forever. And I really have no excuse since we have the treadmill and rowing machine taking up space.

Drink Less
Okay, maybe not going to happen. Not this year.

Australia!
I've never been and I really want to go.  I might even finally learn scuba diving. Definitely want to go snorkelling again.

Take this writing thing more seriously
This blog started it all, but now that I've tried writing stories of my own I really want to do more of it - and I want to treat it as more than the hobby it's been. Which means I need a bit of a subtle attitude adjustment. And to make more time for it.

Look into self-publishing
I've met some lovely authors who are doing very well through self-publishing. That seems like the path for me, so I need to learn more about it.

Phone Grandmaman at least once a week
Another no-brainer. I always have good intentions, but this year I'm not going to let a week go by without talking to her. 

Someone to travel with
This follows on from 'Australia!' Much as I love my BFFs and much as I love the freedom of being single, I'd really like to find someone to travel with - a someone with strong biceps, broad shoulders and a six pack. Someone who can rub suncream on my back, hold my hand and share the adventure. Someone who'll stick around for more than just a quick trip Down Under.
