How did I treat 2014?
Warning: Sarcastic start!
Its fascinating how we all try to nudge the existing year to move out faster and usher in the new year with resolutions, booze, and highfalutin images of ourselves trekking in the Swiss Alps without winter wear.
Well, due respect to all of you, but I don't make resolutions. Most of the resolutions I know we all make are related to our body. We all make fancy promises to ourselves for the upcoming year, and the one promise that tops the chart of promises is weight loss. Some of us go to extremes and resolve only to eat salads and sprouts for the whole year to trim down some fat, and what kickstarts the new year are bottles of beer and loads of meat. (I dont have anything against non-vegetarians; I was born a non-vegetarian and I will die one).
Knowing me, I cant make fancy promises to myself (of losing body fat and weight),
Well, to start off with, 2014 has been a good year for me. I loved watching Ryan grow up, talk more and more, gain a strong foothold on his vocabulary, go through emotional upheavals, grow more fond of his dad, and also challenge me in many ways.
I am so happy he is growing up so well!
I did a few great things for myself this year.
First, I learnt swimming. Call it a thrust on my leonine ego, but I did learn swimming after being laughed at a couple of times for not knowing how to tame water. Nevertheless, I am happy that I learnt a new sport. Otherwise, the only sport that I have in me is a spoil sport.
Second, I had given up driving. However, just a few days back, I rekindled the fire in me for driving, and more so, to fancy taking Ryan out for a ride.
