Happy New Year
My friends ,
I am starting 2023
off on the Bright Side for living .
New year often
means making resolutions, going on a diet or going alcohol free even taking up
a gym membership and not really sticky to the resolutions.
This year I did
make a 12 goal list , so did my son we are
still waiting to see my partners 12 goals NO pressure there CAT before
the end of January will do !
When I was my
son’s age my main ambition was to be the best footballer Bristol City would
ever have had , my son is currently focusing on Swimming , football did make his
list but swimming was higher up his
sport at the moment. I was surprised by
some of his goals he wants a mini fridge in his room, he wants to grow under arm hair (really I thought swimmers like to be hair
free !) , Sound Proof walls of his bedroom (this one is interesting indeed) and
there are few more .
The one common
goal on our list is the New year January Challenge. I have created a new
fundraising team , THE BRIGHT SIDE FOR LIVING CREW.
