Let me start this post by saying – Happy New Year! And yes of course I know I’m 12 days late but better late than never.
So Christmas has long been and gone (or at least it feels that way) and my Christmas didn’t go to plan, as in the plan that I have mapped out for most of the year, seeing as I am girl who adores the festive season. Unfortunately I spent from the 22nd up to new year very poorly! Like honestly the worst I have ever felt in my life! I think it may have been flu which I’ve not had before (and don’t want ever again) but whatever it was it absolutely floored me! I’m actually only just recovered now, but am so just sad that Christmas was one big blur, in the end.
I spent NYE sat at home feeling sorry for myself, with Luke and Hunter as company. So going into 2025 I just really wanted to feel well again.
I didn’t go into 2025 with any huge decelerations or resolutions. I think what I want most from this year is to live it and to be me, not the version of me I think I should be, I just want to be me. And if that means I speak my mind a little too much, or I have no filter, or I always speak the truth, then so be it. As long as I’m not mean, or hurt anyone’s feelings, then being me in 2025 is just fine.
Looking back on 2024 it was a great year. I loved pretty much all of it, and can’t believe travel wise how much Luke and I fitted in! Australia, Shannon Ireland, Maldives & Norway! I mean that’s not bad going in a year.
I can’t wait to start planning travel trips this year, although one things for sure, I won’t be going anywhere until I renew my passport which expires in a few months. £88.50 later and my old passport is in the post and I am waiting patiently for my new blue one to arrive! And in a dear diary moment my new one will be turning up in my married name, so finally after nearly 3 years of marriage I will be a Kendal (on my personal documents) So naturally a holiday should be booked asap right, because it’ll be my first trip as Mrs Kendal!!! I must remember to use that excuse with Luke……
It’s 2025, and I hope it’s a great year all round, a year to live in the moment, and do what you want to do.
Happy new year to you all
