Have you ever wondered?

...Ever wondered why some people appear to get exactly what they want in life... that things just sparkle for them? They appear not to struggle with life, money, friends... the world seems to glow for them?

Determination plays a big part in our existence... Not letting the little things get us down. Allowing ourselves to make mistakes and forgiving ourselves for them. Learning. Evolving. Positive behaviour often breeds positive results.

I believe 2014 will be what we make of it... I want to wish you all a Happy New Year and wish you the very best for it.

Yes it's always struck me as odd that some appear to be "magnetic" whilst others repel, if someone could bottle what ever it is that makes the magnetic ones attractive they'd make a fortune professor laugh wine And a happy new year to you both cheering
happy almost next year or is it tomorow down under alreadywave as regards the first part of your blog abi,the grass is always greener on the other side.
Dear Abagail. I just can't help it but say some people do in fact shine or sparkle of happiness too, they do. I wish you all the good in the new year. Take care of you, and may your dreams come true!

Abigail, have a happy new year!!! cheering sheep very happy party drink pouring angel2
Benni... The grass is not always greener on the other side. I think that's what most people do when they aim to be like the Joneses ...The Joneses may not consider themselves to be happy.

We are 1 hour one and 45 minutes away from seeing 2014 in. party hat
Welela... I am rarely envious of someone elses good fortune in life...and I believe that's because I understand that it may have come at an expense that I cannot see.

Happy New Year to you!
Calleis ---Happy New Year!! party Thank you for your wishes... I wish you much happiness in the new year.
well keep the noise down,its still morning here
violin You poor dear, Benni... Are we keeping you awake?
Abagail, that's what I think too, I'm not envious of others good luck, happiness or good fortune. I love laying out the tarot cards and see what they tell me, I do this for others too and I feel happy when the reading has been a good one and the person who had it laid for them can go home with hope in their heart.
Happy New Year... not so long now I guess?teddybear
Successful people are focused on getting what they want and know what they need for themselves. They have a developed plan and don't just let life happen. They know they need to smile be happy and be alert and aware of every opportunity that comes along . They know how to make things happen . They are confident and knowing . Whether it be in relationships with people , relationships with family and friends or love relationships.
It is not so much luck but acute awareness at all times. They place themselves in places of opportunity and can adapt to situations always learning as they go along.
These are always very discerning people , who can reason well . They automatically adapt to life's challenges and can find solutions easily . Optimistic people who can face challenges easily .
Happy people make themselves happy , successful people make themselves so .

Look and learn , it can happen to you to if you want it .
Hello Nice, I think you may have the impression that I am searching for something I already have.

Your observations however are quite astute. People who believe in themselves will succeed.

Happy New Year.
And for the birthday girl on here today! HAPPY BIRTHDAY Abagail!

Catfoot ...Thank you for the birthday wishes. My mother would have been full term, I am sure she was just thankful that the birthing process was over. I was born at an exceptionally hot time of year, so being pregnant would have been awful. Relief is what comes to mind. laugh

Oddly enough, my daughter was born a few days before Christmas, and you are right... we are just thankful we have a baby.

Nicefeet ... Your comment resonated with me.

It is not so much luck but acute awareness at all times. They place themselves in places of opportunity and can adapt to situations always learning as they go along. This bit particularly.

If success were to be measured by other people's standards, I am not sure I would meet their standard. However, as I don't live to other people's standards ... I am happy with where I am. I always try to look for the bright side of any situation.

Thank you for your wishes. I wish you a wonderful 2014.

GoDaniel... And Happy New Year to you too! It's New Year here now! lol... I went to sleep and woke up to a new year. Thank you for the birthday wishes. hug
Angelpepper ... I am soooooooooo glad someone had a drink to bring in the New Year! laugh I was at work last night until 2100 and didn't feel like drinking when I left there. May 2014 bring you a year full of laughter and happiness.

Thank you for the birthday wishes. My phone rang hot yesterday with messages coming through. smile

Calliopesgirl ... Thank you, Calli... I could say he came and left... but that sounds terribly wrong. laugh Happy New Year. teddybear

Redex... The sign? The photo I have up? Mike actually took the photo. We went to Walhalla for the day and this is outside of the Wally Pub, it's where we went for lunch. Walhalla is a mountainside town with only 20 residents. The town is full of heritage buildings and there is an old railway there. It's a lovely place to go for a day out. smile

Thank you for your wishes. I do hope 2014 takes you to new heights too... and maybe you can travel more, meet exciting people and find new places to hide bodies...laugh On a serious note... I hope that 2014 is full of exciting surprises for you!
KNenagh ... Thank you for the birthday wishes. Another year older, and I am not sure about wiser. laugh

It's interesting how some people hide behind facades... or like Hyacinth Bucket , they create the illusion they are something other than they are. Keeping up appearances.

When I look around me, I know that my friends have problems to resolve, but life is balanced... we can't have everything all of the time. I wouldn't personally want to be wealthy and it often surprises people to find I don't take Lotto tickets. I have never thought anything was meant to be easy in life for me.

I think you should set the example for us, K... and continue to sparkle. wink I wish you much happiness in the New Year! bouquet
Thanks Abagail, as many others, I had rough patches, but I try to enjoy life as much as possible and I know that the person who has the highest impact on my life and happiness - is myself. dunno

Just back from a night with my oldest friends in Germany, it is great to see that some couples are happy and pulling together. smile I do wish the same to a good few people in my life. hug

I agree we can't have everything and we need a balance - I can live with some aspects of my life going well and others not so well, it's just miserable if all is bad. blues I have a lot of plans for 2014 and can do with some luck. smile

Wishing you and Mike the best of luck with whatever you 2 decide to do, it is great to see some happiness on here. wine

Happy New Year Abagail to you and everyone. bouquet
KNenagh...they say you are drawn to people who think like yourself, and you certainly reflect a lot of my own beliefs. An individual is responsible for their own sense of wellbeing.

Your night sounds like it was brilliant. I am glad to hear you had a wonderful night out with friends.

Happy New Year.

Huitzilopochtli ... Gorgeous clip. Happy New Year to you! buddies
