Afternoon all!
Yesterday evening bombing down the motorway back to London, I realised that a year ago, at the end of last Easter, I was also bombing home down a motorway. What made me remember was the sunset, it was identical. But what struck me was that pretty much nothing else in my life is the same since that journey a year ago. I have a new house, job, city, car, boy, friends etc. OK I have had to deal with a lot of rubbish too, stress, losing people I love, relationship angst etc. But when I got home and read the very first post I wrote on here, almost exactly a year ago, the over-riding feeling was that on balance, life is better.
So - my challenge to you all!
Go back to your blog and find a post on or near to 25 March 2007. If you haven't been blogging that long then just go back to your first post. Think about how things have changed since then. Yes some changes will be for the better, and there may be some you regret. However I want you to focus on the positive and list three things that are better in your life now than they were back then.
I'll set the ball rolling...
1) Moving to London has meant a better job with better pay and all that entails - credit card cleared off and a trip to Sydney just some of the highlights.
2) At the end of last year I had a row with some of my old 'friends'. At the time it seemed a disaster but now looking back it was for the best because ever since then my life has been a lot less stressed without them in it!
3) Now I've turned 25 I think I've had a bit of a quarter-life revelation. Dare I say it I've started to grow up? I have a greater clarity of what I want from life and I think making the move south has given me the confidence to go out and get it.
Of course there's plenty more I could say but for now I think it's your turn...
