A New Year and a New Me!

I know I am a bit late in the whole "New Year Blog Post", but hey, it's still early in the year anyway!!

Well it's a new year and what feels to be a new me. When I shouted out the 10 second countdown to 2011 I felt alive with adrenaline as I knew in 10 seconds I could shout Happy New Year and 2010 would finally be last year. I shouted out those last precious ten seconds, arms up in the air, dancing around, when finally the countdown was over and I screamed HAPPY NEW YEAR. Balloons and glittery sprinkles fell from the celling, and as I lunged at my friend to give her a massive hug, party poppers were firing all over the place. I smiled with glee as I knew I had done it, I had survived the worst, most hideous year of my life...and had come out of it smiling. Something has changed in me since 2011 started. I know its the biggest clique ever, but I feel now that 2010 is finally behind me I can start again. The biggest impulse is that I am now well and fit enough to start again, as I am basically back to 100% with no lasting effects of my head injury, except the hearing in my left ear which will never return. But I feel alive again and ready to not only reach for those dreams that glitter, but grab them and make them come alive.

I know I am lucky to even be here and that I didn't suffer from any brain damage; maybe there was a reason for that, maybe not. Either way, I know I can't waste any day, I need to work for what I want, as life is too short and I am not getting any younger after all. So here goes, this is the return of Gwen, who I should be and the life I should live! Watch this space!
