The Monday Of Months?

Hello! Happy (Belated) New Year from Team Delacourt!

Wow, the first month of the year has just flown by, hasn’t it?

Lost of people hate this time of the year, and I’ve seen this meme floating around the Internet for weeks.

The truth is, I personally LOVE January. Its one of my favourite months. I find its a really good time to “recoup and plan ahead”.

With the old year out of the way, I relax, and plan out the new one, looking at what worked for me, what didn’t, what I managed to get done, and the stuff that I didn’t (*sobs*).

I’m quite happy with 2018 though, and excited about 2019. In fact, I’ve already accomplished (very unexpectedly) one of my goals, which was to find a piano teacher!

I’ve played the piano for years, but haven’t had a teacher for over a decade. Its not so much for the “teaching aspect”, as for accountability. Its lonely, playing by yourself all the time, and having someone to talk about music was a need I’ve been feeling for a while now.

I’ve also been feeling the need to do some more reading. So this year, one of my new year resolutions is to read a book a week, and its going well so far.

Did you know reading has amazing health benefits! It affects your heart beat, reduces stress and alters your state of mind!

I hope that reading more is one of YOUR new year resolutions: and if it is, you can check out this Fantasy Creatures giveaway, and perhaps find something you’ll like.
