What will be different for you in 2013?

Sewsilver I hope all goes well.

Sewsilver thinking about you. I hope the op goes ok and your husband starts to feel better soon

Hi angiebaby

I could not miss a dental appointment.
My daughter books mine next to her appointment.
The dentist is her friend in the Keep Fit class.

Sewsilver what an awful situation for you both. I do understand how you feel. I hope everything goes well. xx

Sewsilver, what an awful strain for you and DH. I hope things are sorted soon, and that you can both relax and look forward to a better year health-wise.

Gally . Hope you enjoy Sydney.I'm hoping DH's health will be better. He's in hospital waiting for surgery, it's been postponed 4 times today. I'm restless and can't settle to anything. Think I'll go and tidy cupboards to distract myself. A very strange start to the New Year.

Gally ((hugs)) from Merseyside so re your up and coming trip to Sydney any chance of fitting in a little one in your suitcase ?
This year we want to move into a bungalow so the problem of a flight of stairs is taken away for mr.glamma,we know where we want but we will have to wait until one is available so here's hoping we are fortunate enough this next year.

(((Hugs))) gally. I've lost a precious sister and nephew this year, and in 4 weeks, my grandson is due to be born. A bit of peace and quiet would be nice, whilst I orientate myself to the changes that have recently happened.

(((Hugs))) Gally. For me this year I will try not to worry so much about all and sundry, and as ga says , life will unfold. Some of the unfolding this year was not so great, but I shall be cheerful and optimistic and wish all GNers all the very best for2013

This is a brilliant thread nanando. Just looking forward to happy times!!!!!!

ga your post reminded me of that song 'Let's face the music and dance' - "There may be trouble ahead..."etc. All we can do is battle on, with as good a grace as we can muster!

Gally, such a hard time, just now. I have no words that will mean anything at all. I don't think human nature allows us to see forward in order that we say what we think we should, so that we don't have a conscience about things later on. We can only do the best we can, and not beat ourselves up if we feel we've not managed things right. xxx

Well said ga. I hope things are peaceful for you and yours after the recent turmoil

The coming year, like every one before it, will be .....eventful! Some of those events will be mundane, others exciting, sad, interesting, worrying or even wonderful. There will be illness, possibly death, new births, milestones reached, relationships deepened or fractured. There will be joy and there will be pain. I know this because this is what LIFE is, isn't it? We none of us can know what the year ahead will bring, but we can, in some measure, decide how to make the best of what life offers and do our bit to add a little kindness and friendship.

gally (((hugs))) perhaps we should all make sure we say things that need to be said?
ella ((((hugs))) too.

On another note, I will have a new tax disc for my car, as the old runs out at midnight.

Gally today is indeed a milestone for you and others who were bereaved in 2012. Sending warm wishes and (((hugs))) for a healthy and peaceful New Year.

Gally , you have been an inspiration to many on here. Much love and strength to you for the next twelve months.

Gally (((hugs)))

Gally (((hugs))) You are already a strong, wise, sympathetic person it seems to me

I hope there are some changes for the better in my life as frankly, last year was c**p!

If I'd known this time last year what was about to happen, then I would have turned the clock back and run like hell........ or maybe I would have said all the things that needed to be said and cleared my conscience. It's strange that this is the last day I will have lived in the same year as Mr.G - tomorrow I am really on my own.....

2013, well who knows what is in store but things will most definitely be different; hopefully I'll become a stronger, wiser, more sympathetic, less selfish person but I think I'll kick off with a trip to Sydney and then take it from there

kittylester you're a baby [lol] I'll be 69 eeks - and I mentally only feel 30 but my aches and pains tell me differently. Despite said aches and pains I am determined to carry on with my 2 days a week job, even though it is physically very tiring.
I am a terrific bookworm, if it has words on it I read it - presently enjoying Restless by William Boyd - gift from Gransnet - have just read a book about Dickens and one about Victorian Times by Judith Flanders - have resolved to read some more of his, like Little Dorrit and Bleak House.

I'll be 64 on the 5th and I have absolutely no idea how that happened
