The new year, a time when everything changes, for better or worse. I have never been a traditionalist and I don't hold much stock in new years resolutions but this year I am going to try and make more effort, generally. That's my new years resolution, to make more effort. I say I will do a lot of tings but I never seem to actually manage it give or take one or two exceptions. I am sure I am not the only person in the world who has spent far too long putting off till tomorrow what could have been done today. I think we all have our reasons, and they vary as much as the noses on our faces, but for me a lot of it is down to a lack of confidence. I don't do things because part of me is sure that it will fail before I even begin, so I just don't do it and avoid the dissapointment. It's time for a change.
