He who breaks a resolution is a weakling...
He who makes one is a fool - F.M Knowles
Being totally honest, I'm not really into New Years Resolutions - I try & live by the idea of if you recognise you ought to make a change, you ought to make it there & then, rather than hold it out until January 1st... Perhaps that's just me?! Nonetheless, I love a good list & a bucket list is no exception!
Following last years 13Things//For2013, I decided to follow the same notion for this year...
Only this time, obviously, my list has increased to 14things which I'd like to achieve during this year!
I'm linking up with a number of other bloggers & if you'd like to join, you can find all the introductory information here.

At this time of year, resolutions are popping up all over the place... Who sticks to them? Who really cares? I wan't to lose weight, I want to get fit, I want to sleep better... blah,blah,blah...
Quite frankly, resolutions are often negative; picking holes in oneself & ones lifestyle.
I've decided to write a bucket list of 14things, which I'd like to do...
It's not about success or failure or the time in which you achieve it, it's about self-fullfillment!
Other opportunities might arise & I may, or may not share them here...
