I am always satisfied by the delightful read when Clarice publishes her book each year. It has been spot on for me over the years so I hope this year is no exception. Although my outlook is not as clear sailing as I would have hoped, there is nothing like a challenge to keep one on their toes. I know I need to watch my health and that's to do with my lifestyle. I want to get the most out of 2018 so its all about fitness, good eating an no over indulgences....
