New Year, New start

So it's 2009, a new year, new start, new blog!
What better time to start blogging? It's a new me, so I thought I'd try something new.

I don't know about anyone else, but for me, 2008 was a fairly bad year. For those who know me, you'll be aware I wasn't the happiest I could be. The usual, a break up, putting on weight and being miserable.. Worrying about things I didn't need to.. exams results etc, but I lost someone dear too. Until this year, I'd never experienced the effects of a death before. Sure I'd lost people, but I was far too young to understand. November 8th saw the inevitable loss of Elizabeth Leyshon, the bravest girl I knew, who for three years fought brain tumours and passed away in my arms at the age of 14. I'd never reached such a low, but she's in a better place, away from the pain and suffering.

Though she's gone, and I still miss her, I don't find myself waiting for anything, or worrying. I don't have any weight on my shoulders, I can be happy, and I am.
This year could be my year, who knows? It could be anyone's year! This is a new beginning, and I'm starting it on a high. I'm happier than I've been in very long time! I have things to look forward to, rather than things to dread, I have reasons to be happy, not to be sad. I've started this year, by loving myself, in the sense that, I'm not hating how I look because of my weight, I'm loving it, I'm happy with it, and I feel great! As most girls know, when you once again fit into your favourite pair of jeans, you feel on top of the world, and for me, that feeling's lasted for 3 weeks so far and still on going! :) 2009 is the year for happiness.

Don't let fears or worries get in the way of happiness. Life's too short. Lizzy proved that.
