welcome 2013

Hello 2013~!!!
So what do I want to achieve this year?
Hard to pin it down into a few words but I did find this image on the net and it sort of sums up my intentions.
This coming year will bring a lot of changes to our home and family - Megan will be leaving home to (hopefully) go to uni, we will be getting a new kitchen and more renovating (the more depending on the $$$).  I have been selected to be a part of the Dairy Australia Developing Dairy Leaders Program so will be travelling to Melbourne and Canberra for that.  I've also been asked to be part of a study into hearing loss run by the National Centre for Farmer Health and that will involve travelling to Horsham.  So more time in the car - more audiobooks!
Even though it sounds like I will be busy, Im actually hoping to slow down a bit - I will no longer be involved in school council, where I have been president for the last 4 years as Megan is no longer at school.  So no night time meetings and other meeting which will be nice.  I do want to be a better help to Gary on the farm and to spend more quality time together.  I know I am so blessed to have such a wonderful, caring man as my husband. Speaking of which - he wasnt quite sure what you are supposed to "do" on New Years Day, so I suggested this for him and I might add it didnt take much convincing!

And so in conclusion - From Neil Gaiman, who says it better than I ever could...
"May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness.
I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're
wonderful, and don't forget to make some art - write or draw or build or
sing or live as only you can.
And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself."

What a great quote!

I wish I could have spent some of my day doing as Gary did but again I was playing nurse and hostess!

I wish you love, abundant joy, good health, lots of laughs and plenty of time for stitching!
I love the thoughts you've shared, and it sounds like you're on track for a wonderful 2013. It's nice to see a farmer take it easy. I'm sure that rarely happens! Happy new year, Di!
