The end is nigh

As the year draws to a close, it becomes a time of reflection.  Of looking back over things we've done and things that have happened.  Some good, some bad.  Life in general I guess.
All in all no major changes.  Life has ticked over as ever.
Same bloke, same home, same job same car.  All good things for me.
Same weight too despite my best efforts.
Obviously we've lost and gained people in our lives.  The sad loss of Norman was a rough time.
The main change for me was taking up roller derby again.
What began as a light hobby on a bit of a whim has once again taken over my life.
I'd never have believed this time last year that I would be playing again.  Not after previous experiences.
In the short 10 months since I began there has been a lot of changes in the team.  A lot of people have come and gone.  It is a different team now to the one I joined.  Not necessarily changes for better or worse; just different.  But I suppose things change and evolve wether we would like them to or not.
I aim to continue for as long as I'm gaining something from it and enjoying it.  Once that stops, I don't need to pay for an experience that I find negative.   This time, no pressure.
I'm hoping to continue through next year and continue to improve.
What ever else the year brings I hope I can rise up to any challenges.
I'm trying to begin the new year in a positive frame of mind and be able to handle January well this time.
Onwards and upwards...
