A New Year. A New Hope.

Dear 2014,

Hello and welcome.

Firstly, may I take this opportunity to welcome you. I have been waiting a long while for your arrival, almost a year in fact. Your predecessor was quite vexing, insisting on creating discomfort as much and as often as possible. I am sure that you will prove to be more friendly.

To celebrate your arrival my friends and I have spent the day partying, enjoying much food and great conversation.
On my part, I resolve to do the following:

• try to write ‘something’ everyday. (1500 words would be nice, but I will be happy with just a few hundred – anything really)
• finish my manuscript before you depart
• always think of the glass as half full
• try to look at both sides of each story
• never lose hope
• enjoy more family ‘together’ time
• learn to relax and face my fears.

I trust that you will reward my trust in you with hope, creativity and a more peaceful twelve months.
Thanking you in advance,

Yours hopefully,

Karen C.
