Dear 2013,
I'm ready for the year ahead. I embrace you and all the things you have in store for me. I'm in the queue ready for the ride!
All I ask, Dear 2013, is that it's a gentler ride than the ones I've been on recently. It's just that well, they've been sooooo wild, so fast and at times so scary. There's been so many twists and turns my head has been left spinning, and my hands aching from my grip on the handrail!
I've been so frightened at times that I would fall off, I've wanted to scream and yell but thought if I started, I wouldn't stop. It's been a whirlwind, with ultra fast changes of direction, I really haven't known if I was coming or going!
So please 2013, please could it be a gentler ride this year? Could I not have to hold so tight to the handrail,? That way I could use my hands to craft and create. Could my head only spin with ideas......please?
I know then, that I will really enjoy the ride, being able to concentrate on the here and now, not thinking too much about what's twists and turns are up ahead.
Thank you,
Ada Bea :) x
Thank you all, for your love, encouragement and support since I started this little blog of mine. Your comments and words have meant so much, you perhaps don't know how much.
When I ventured into Blog Land I had no idea how much it would all mean to me, and so quickly! Although it can't replace the love and support I have from my family and friends, it certainly holds a special place in my heart. Thank you!
I don't make Grand Plans anymore, I used to make lots of Grand Plans, in fact, I used to live in the future with those Grand Plans! Now, I try to live day to day.
So in 2013, I shall enjoy those little moments. I hope to be creative every day, and support this creative community I find myself amongst. I shall get excited and inspired by the things I see, the colours and patterns!
I shall take pleasure in the opportunities given to me in 2013. I hope for a gentler ride, but if needed, I will face the challenges head on! Put down my crafting, just for a little while, and hold on tight again to the handrail!
I shall enjoy those Vintage Sheets! I will relish being Ada Bea!
Wishing each and every one of you, all good things for 2013!
See you in the New Year!
Love Ada :) x x x

ReplyDeleteHere's to a more gentle ride! Love and best wishes to you and your family, Nick and Morten xx
ReplyDeleteHi Ada, I too often want to ask 'stop the ride I want to get off', but it just keeps spinning. I feel it IS slowing down now for me, and I hope that you start to get that sensation too. It's been a real joy reading your blog, and some of your followers have popped over to see me which is really nice. Interesting world here, and I like it. Here's to a new and exciting year for us all!! love, Wendy
ReplyDeleteWishing you a wonderful year in 2013 : -)
ReplyDeleteAda, I sincerely hope 2013 will be more peaceful and relaxing - maybe a trip on a carousel rather than a rollercoaster. Yes, that would be much better! Looking forward to lots more blog posts from you in 2013. xxx
ReplyDeleteWishing you a much more relaxed and healthy New Year Ada, enjoy your celebrations.

Oh Ada Bea, this post bought a tear to my eye! And I really just want to say that I think you are a lovely, lovely lady! Truly! I also think you are a kind, strong, determined and loyal woman and you have such a beautiful way with words.
ReplyDelete(I hope that doesn't sound too wacky, seeing as though I've never met you, but these are the genuine impressions I get of you from reading your blog and the comments you leave on my own).
And I truly do hope that 2013 delivers your hopes of a gentler ride and that you don't have to hold on so tight this year and that you have hands that are free for crafting and some time for yourself.
And I look forward to sharing this year with you, your vintage sheets and your crochet crafty goodness through the blogosphere.
*Big Hug* Jo x
Thank you so much Jo :) x
