I re-read my post from December 31st 2012 where I wrote that I will post up new things that I did which made me grateful for the day.I think I can say that I've achieved this. Some new things I did were just insanely amazing and I was grateful that I had the opportunity to do each of those, but on the days where I did something small, I was grateful that I'm lucky enough to have some down time. So many people in the world can't enjoy life's simple pleasures like going to a park and reading a book, or watching a movie so I'm thankful that I am able to do this.
I hope all the readers out there know how much I appreciate all the encouragement and support over the year. Thank you
to everyone for letting me be myself on this blog and for letting me write the
way I do without any criticism or put downs. On that note, I should probably
say I'm sorry for all my spelling and grammar mistakes.
A huge thank you to all my wonderful friends and family who were so willing to go along and do new things with me. Seriously, thank you thank you thank you! All those experiences were made so much better by having you beside me to share the experience with. Thank you for giving me your time and for being so patient with me as I go full tourist-mode and take photos of everything. Thank you for letting me take photos of your food...while it sat there and got cold (I'm sorry!).
This has been an incredible journey. I hope you enjoyed following my adventures as much as I enjoyed having them. More importantly, I hope you all had your own adventures which made the year memorable for you :)
In that same post from the 31st December 2012, I wrote that I wasn't sure what 2013 would bring. Now that it has come to an end I can see that it brought me incredible new experiences which have brought me even closer to those I love so dear, a better insight into what my home town of Perth has to offer, a taste of what the world outside of Perth has to offer, a better sense of myself and what I'm capable of and of course, a mother ship of amazing memories.
I don't know what 2014 will bring, but whatever comes, good or bad, I’ll take it all.
I’m putting all my trust in God’s hands. Faith and my relationship with God plays a huge part in my life. Without it, my feet would stumble wherever I walk. So, I'm grateful to all that God has given me, for all the blessings, but also all the obstacles that I faced and the lessons that I learnt from them.
So I was doing a bit of procrastinating just now, and I
found out that one of my favourite Tumblr sites has also come to an end. It's
called Just Little Things. It's a blog that lists little things that we do and/or should appreciate. I've been following it for a few years now and even one of my
suggestions was approved and posted up on the blog (i think it was "the chocolate at the bottom of an ice cream cone")! I had no idea that the blog
was counting up to 1000 little things. However, now that the blog has reached number
1000 "Counting your blessings and realising just how amazing life
is.", there won't be as many new posts put up. Instead, past posts will be put
up so that the blog remains active.
Blogs can
be pretty amazing. Just Little Things and 1000 Awesome Things was where it all
started for me. I read these posts daily and it helped me to appreciate my
life. As a result, I wanted to take that appreciation of life and time to the
next level and do something new everyday and therein my blog came to be.
I really
do believe that happiness is a choice. I don't remember the exact day or
anything, but years ago I just decided to Google some blogs that might
encourage me to see life through happier eyes. And because I was proactive, I
found two amazing blogs that have completely changed me for the better. Even
though these two amazing blogs have ended, and my gap year blog will end too,
what's important is everything that happens next. What really matters is that I
can still wake up everyday from now on and be able to appreciate how great life
can be.
So let's count down to the new year and I wish you all the best for each and everyday :D Don't be scared to try new things!
