Rounding Up 2014

So this is my final post about 2014! As you can see I've been on a bit of a push to write more at the moment. This last fortnight I've been sharing a post a day on Facebook about the last year, and I hope from now on I'll continue to write more often - then again you never know ;) It has been a great exercise for me anyway as the new year has got into full swing, to look back at what I have experienced and achieved in the last year in terms of 'work', and think about what I want to work towards. It has been a more challenging year than normal in terms of my health and so I haven't worked as much as I would normally aim to, but it has a lot of good points and getting through the health problems has been a huge achievement for me in itself.

There's just a few more things from last year I'd like to tell you about:

This Christmas I got an exciting surprise in the form of a Ukulele from Gareth. 

So that's something I'll be enjoying learning this year. Last year I saw Anarchy in the Ukulele as part of a music festival in Holmfirth. As a Christmas present Steve and Jan took me along to an Anarchy in the Ukulele practice, which was good fun. 

At the end of last year, I began learning how to drive! This is something I am still working hard towards and cannot wait until I get my license! I am hoping this will help me reach future targets and dreams. It is difficult at times but generally I am enjoying it, and I am trying to stay in the Huddersfield area whilst I do this. Wish me luck! 

I am looking forward to seeing what this year brings. The kind of work that I do makes for a challenging career life. It's not the easiest lifestyle choice and it definitely has cons as well as pros, but for now it is still what I want to be doing - and this year has confirmed that for me even though it has been very difficult at times.
