The events kick starts with Obama being sworn in as President of the free world for a second term. For the first time in 600 years, a living Pope steps down from his papal duties and forces the appointment of another.
Natural disasters ripped across the globe with record-setting storms wrecking havoc. Not to mention pointless deaths caused by mindless fanatics all using politics and religion for the wrong reasons. We also saw the passing of world leaders like Nelson Mandela.
But we also welcomed a future King and saw incredible acts of humanity though the mentioned tragedies.
In our personal lives, our friends got married, welcomed a newborn or two, bought new homes. We traveled the world-went to pastures new. Did something different for the first time. Danced the night away and drank too much, got into rows and quarrels. We tried to keep up with the new year's list but failed dismally and made up excuses to do it 'tomorrow'. Worked far too much and moaned about it on Twitter and Facebook. Missed a few functions, wished you had done something else. Definitely spent too much money on gadgets, clothes and shoes!
But you know what 2013? Through everything, I'd like to say 'THANK YOU' I'm still here, I have a fabulous family and an amazing bunch of friends. I've made so many new friends along the way. I've moaned and cried and laughed all the same. You were not brilliant but you were sufficient to see me through to 2014.
As a good friend said to me once, the 'world's my lobster'. Beyond bright horizon across the beautiful blue sea, the opportunities are endless.
So 2014 let's see what you got installed for us. I'm looking forward it all! Bring it on..
