sg1scribeBest five memories of 2011:
1. Spending a week in Oman with good friends
2. Seeing an osprey and wild highland goats while walking the West Highland Way
3. Attending the graduation ceremony for my MA
4. Hubby getting public recognition as an all-round good egg
5. Looking out over London from the top of the BT tower
Worst five memories of 2011:
1. My youngest son failing his degree
2. Hearing that a close friend had breast cancer (following surgery she is doing very well)
3. Hearing that another friend had been diagnosed with cancer for a third time (I fear 2012 will include a funeral)
4. S-i-l's wedding to a man that no one in the family likes or trusts
5. Seeing good friends hurt by other people's stupidity and selfishness
Four biggest accomplishments:
1. Finally completing NaNoWriMo
2. Landing some new clients for the conferencing side of my job - particularly loved having Thames Valley Police in for two days doing safe driving education with school kids
3. Walking the West Highland Way
4. Signing up to do a creative writing course that I'd been drooling over for four years or more
Biggest failure:
Allowing my busy and often stressful schedule to push exercise out of my life, and returning to my old habit of using food for both comfort and reward
Goals for 2012:
1. Exercise regularly and eat well
2. Laugh more
3. Take time to enjoy the moment
4. Polish NaNoWriMo novel
5. Keep in contact with friends - old and new

I found some great images from Oman that are inspiration for my desert city.
Hope all is well with you and G.
