Happy New Year

OK so my dear friend Jess has made me feel guilty by resolving to blog every week and by today completing six posts already (cheating I think). And theres me haven't blogged since November!
So new year, new opportunities. My resolutions? Diet (again), fitness (again) and getting my teeth sorted which I have been putting off for ages.
I thought I also should explain the name of the blog and the picture. The picture is of Skiddaw in the Lake District where Steve's ashes are scattered. So I can stand on mountains is taken from the Westlife song 'You Raise Me Up' - if you haven't listened to them they are beautiful:

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up...To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up...To more than I can be.

There is no life - no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up...To more than I can be.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up...To more than I can be.
You raise me up...To more than I can be.
