A bit of an honest reflection.......

Firstly today is 12/12/12........I won't see a date like that in my lifetime. Thought I would just say that lol

As I sit at home bored suffering from a stupid cold which has taken over my body I thought it's been a while since I last posted on my blog. It is strange, in a month how so much has happened/changed, not necessarily to me but to a lot of people around me. 

So a few friends have had their first born, gotten engaged, married, moved in with their boyfriends or simply got a boyfriend. I am truly happy for them. I am also very happy for ME as well. As strange as this sound, I am really happy with being single right now. It has taken a while. I realised a little while ago that I was quite sad internally. I guess I never got over the hurt that I experienced when I left my ex. I also didn't realise how much I had loved him, even though he was so toxic for me. So internally I was quite broken and anyone that I met when I could have been bothered was also broken and miserable. Hence it was never going to work.

The last couple of months I have been focusing on myself, my happiness and what I enjoy doing. I was so being wanting and trying to keep up with my friends that I realised I was making myself more miserable. I soon realised that marriage and babies as much as I want them one day, that day is not now! I have so much that I want to do before I proceed to that chapter.

So for now I am enjoying my time doing what makes me happy......planning next years training and race season; going on my first triathlon training camp in Italy for 2 weeks, taking up mountain biking; becoming a stronger athlete etc.

Anyway enough of that stuff.......what I am VERY excited about is going home to Melbourne next Friday for 2 weeks to see my family and friends. It will be 18 months since I last saw everyone and my original home. I am most excited to ride along Beach Road, swim in the ocean, run around the tan, Albert Park lake and along the beach and so much more. 

It has been 5 years since I moved to London and this will be the first time I will be home for Christmas with my family. I even get to attend my best friends 40th birthday and surprise visit my 92 year old grandmother. 

I wish all the readers of this post and my blog a Happy and Safe Christmas with your respective loved ones.  Have an amazing New Year!!! Here is to a fabulous 2013!
