New year new you

I hope you've all had a lovely Christmas holiday. I've definitely exceeded my chocolate quota, and I'm no where near finished! Consumerism at Christmas is something I've always found difficult. Don't get me wrong I love giving and receiving presents, but I think sometimes we take our eye off the ball a bit. I guess its just a cultural evolution, I'll try to not start a science-culture -religion debate, sorry. But we're supposed to be remembering Jesus' birthday!

Any hooo its nearly 2013. New year new you, and all that jazz. This is one of those phrases that fills me with dread, along with "there's no cake left" *shudder* Any way what's wrong with the current me!? Don't answer that. Every year at this time the nation decides that they need to go to the gym, eat more healthily, take up a new hobby etc etc... now hats off to any of you that keep up your resolution beyond the 1st of February. But I don't even have the dedication and patience to think of one, let alone keep it up for a year! By the world's view I should be Charlo version 20 by now. Maybe I am and I just haven't realised it yet. Hmm...

So I'll finish by saying all the best for 2013, I'm sure you're all great just the way you are, and have a gander at Romans 12.2: Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
