shine bright like a diamond

christmas decorations are up, home is transformed into a sparklier, brighter, prettier version itself
excitment abounds, countdowns are on, friends returning from afar, nights out to keep track of, dinner with friends, christmas drinks, lunch dates, meeting for coffee, ordering christmas provisions. lovely

I'm following  movie a day policy at the moment...its great really....l was going to pick them in advance, but now lm going with how l feel on the day and decided on the movie to suit my mood....sometimes you get a really good laugh when you need it, other times it keeps you enthralled and passes a few hours when the hours might have been dreagging out in front of you...then their are days when you could do with a relief of tension and you could do with a good cry.so you just pop on your favourite tearjerker and off you go...you end up with runny nose and puffy eyes ubt ultimately feeling relief and not as stressed...

The movie for today is 27 dresses, a bit of laughter and a bit of romance.nice and easy.  Yesterday was The Holiday- Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz..l am hoping get through Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Little Women over the next few days

Saying no to NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS THIS YEAR

This year l have decided to liberate myself from the pressure of making a New Year's Resolution and then spending January trying to stick with it, and February berating myself for not sticking with it.

So l had a period of reflection of late, as the dark evenings, and gloomy days have taken hold as winter advances. I have thought about what l want to change in my life and am making small changes now to begin changing things.

I like the chance to have a good think about cleaning out the cobwebs and making my life happier for me.
So maybe it is something we can all do together.
lets think of small changes that will make our own lives better  :)

helllllooooo ~December

Hello December. welcome to you.  It instantly makes people think of Christmas, some people no doubt, as we speak, are in the attic getting out the decorations.  Others are not launched into a blind panic about present while others are feeling festive and thinking about stocking up on cinnamon and candles..
Coca Cola and Budweiser Christmas Adverts will dominate our tv screens, those and toy commercials.
The party invites come in, plans are made to meet friends and family.  Tv will start playing Christmas movies every day on lots of channels and the best of .....2012 will start hitting our screens.
"Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas....."
