Last year when the Wordpress stats wizards compiled a review of my year, I hadn’t been blogging long and was clueless. I was ecstatic to watch the fireworks, and share them in my little blogging world. A year on, I’m still clueless, but I guess it’s time I took a little responsibility. So here’s my first shot at the Weekly photo challenge- a hodge-podge of my year!
How was yours? It’s amazing what you can fit in, when you look back.
There are hundreds of participants in this challenge, so click here to see all the goodies.
It just remains to wish you “all you wish yourselves”. Thanks for being there. My life would be so much emptier without you. Happy and peaceful times to all of you in 2013.

Fantastic selection of photos – my favourites are the nosey sheep and the perfect picnic place.
Happy New Year to you and yours!

Today may there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others.
May you use the gifts that you have received and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content with yourself just the way you are. Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us.
Sending you every good wish for 2013, Jo. Thank you for all your encouragement and support during the past year. May all your hopes and dreams have wings 🙂

I think the WordPress challenge had something to do with that, although like me, there are others who have probably always done it. Anyway, it was worth the effort and nicely in time too 🙂
