End of...

...the year

I felt that the last Blip of 2012 should be memorable and significant, a time to reflect on your life, and build the foundation on which to shape your approach to the coming 12 months.
I didn't get much of a chance to take photos today as I was pretty busy, and had the prospect of working a late shift at the hospital. But I did go on a nice long walk with Jim this morning, and as we set out from the house it was windy and drizzly and I felt pretty fed up about the rubbish weather and having to go to work.
About 10 minutes into the walk though, I felt extremely content, refreshed and revelling in the moment of having the world to myself and Jim - it's a wonderful opportunity to destress and reflect.
I realised how much I enjoy our daily walk, how lucky I am to be healthy, relatively solvent, and have a loving family who are all well and happy.
I'm blessed that each day I am able to spend some time with my wonderful dog and reflect on the joys of life. I went on to have a great shift at work, with wonderful dedicated, hard working nurses, and came home to my lovely husband, a great meal and a few glasses of wine to see the new year in.
I'll start all over again tomorrow (I'm working an early shift), but I count myself lucky and blessed.
I hope that you all feel the same, and if not I wish you wonderful things for 2013.
