Happy New Year and welcome to 2011! That should be a good start, shouldn’t it? But if you aren’t full of the joys of spring – and are tired, miserable, bored and not sure which path you should be following in life, then there is no better month than January to give yourself a new start.
First of all, get your enthusiasms flowing. Without this, nothing will happen – how often do you see a positive person who is miserable? So if you are considering moving to Cyprus, now is the time to stop thinking about it and get a firm plan in place.
If you didn’t receive your Cyprus Buying Guide as a Christmas present, now is the time to treat yourself, especially as the 2011 version has just been published – just go to www.CyprusBuyingGuide.com and get the wheels in motion.
OK. Let’s move on. Our Christmas and New Year were great. We stayed in Cyprus and went to a bistro in the next village where we had a traditional Christmas Day including games, which after a few glasses of wine become funnier and funnier. Have you ever played “What’s in the sock?” It’s hilarious!
New Year was spent with all our friends at a cabaret night, we had a smashing time. I have to say, I didn’t expect to see one of the guests, a lady well into her 60’s, grabbing hold of one of the pillars in the venue and starting to pole dance. The whole place collapsed into fits of laughter, she was absolutely hilarious. Well, the climate in Cyprus does keep you very fit and healthy, and she certainly demonstrated that she had no problems with her joints!
The weather in Cyprus was unbelievable over the festive period. On Christmas Day, we had breakfast outside and opened all our presents by the swimming pool. It reached 25 degrees, not a cloud in the sky. When we switched on the television later and saw the conditions in the UK, we felt very privileged to be here. We normally spend Christmas back in England, but are quite glad we didn’t this year!
In Cyprus, it tends to stay around 20-25 degrees until about the middle of January – then our winter really begins. It then feels really cold (at least by our standards) and it is frequently wet, windy and damp. Where we live though, the temperature doesn’t usually drop below 5 degrees at night.
We still have sunshine during the day and even in the winter, on a good day at lunchtime you can still pop your swimsuit on and top up your tan. Mind you – by 4pm, you have your thermals and thick socks on! The tiles on the floors of these villas are very cold in the winter – that’s when I really miss fitted carpets and good insulation.
OK. My final thought for this week. Get a plan for 2011. I find nothing happens without a plan. I’m a huge plan fan. Know where you are going. Know what you want to achieve. Follow your goals for a new beginning and celebrate the New Year with renewed enthusiasm for an exciting time ahead.
Remember - positive thinking really does make things happen – I speak from experience!
Best wishes and good luck for 2011
Until next week.
