Besides this crazy heat/rain/wind has it not been an amazing summer and I hope you all had as much of a beachy awesome time as we did. In our 2-week break we sunned it up on Waiheke. Bonny had a great time road tripping round the North Island and Tom reckons his best days were spent on Palm Beach.
With all the resolutions that fly around at the start of a New Year I thought, I should keep it in perspective, keep it real and attainable. I decided my N.Y.R would be just that “To keep things in perspective”. A bit loose you might say but it was the thinking about what I really wanted out of 2011 that got me there.
In today’s society we lean towards the accumulation of things to bring us happiness. At a New Year we might say “ I’ll stop drinking, I’ll loose weight etc” But aren’t we over indulging because were unhappy. Because were working our arses off to keep up with the payments on our stuff. To attain the car, clothes, house … so we can be happy. This all strikes me as a touch squ-if on perspective, shouldn’t the goal just be happiness?
Forget the stuff. That way we can have happiness and we don’t need to make payments on that.
Age is a splendid thing because you realize cool things. For me it’s now about slowing down, keeping calm, doing that which I love and not stressing. I used to love stressing, I used to love going fast and being crazy but that was because it gave me a sense of importance ??? Weird I know. Now I have a beautiful family, an amazing dog, a great salon with great clients and I know what’s important. Perspective – I’m keeping mine in check!

See ya next week, hope your resolution is still going strong x
