I unwrapped the parcel carefully so that I didn't damage the cover of the book. This was it, this book was going to change my life for good or bad, better or worse, richer or poorer.

It was going to make me or break me and I so hoped it wasn't the later.

I inhaled smelling the untouched leather smell, taking in the new paper, the feel of a book never been touched.

I took a deep breathe and opened the book, it was empty no words on the first page or the next or the next and as I flicked through, it was all empty.

Perfect!

For this book was going to be my journey, my chance of finding love, of taking chances and saying yes to everything out of my comfort zone or at least most things out of my comfort zone. One step at a time and I would write them all down here and at the end of the year we would see how different my life was then.

Dear Diary no that makes me sound as though I'm 12. Today the 1st January 2011 I have made the decision to push my boundaries, I'm nearly 30 and I want what all my friends have. Love, friendship, jobs they enjoy and something that I can't yet put into words. I hope by the time I finish this book that I have found that missing something and with someone who I love.

So first things first. I think a new job, there's nothing wrong with working where I do and I like my colleagues but there is nothing inspiring or exciting about it either. I go to work, I type up memos, notes, letters anything that comes in dictated and I send it back out written up for who ever its suppose to go to. My boss Vicky is ok, I think she's been doing the job so long she can't think of anything else but I can I want adventure and excitement and most of all love!

I can think of nothing else to put into words today so I shut the book and put it in my desk drawer. I end up sitting at my desk staring out of the window but not really seeing the scene in front of me. I've seen it many time before and in Forks it's nearly always the same it's damp and overcast, looks like rain. I realise that it's getting dark outside and the stars are trying to peek through the clouds. All of a sudden the moon starts to shine in the night skies and the clouds disappear. As I watch the starts starting to twinkle a small light darts across the dark sky, I hold my breath and wish, maybe, please make this my year. The star is gone as sudden as it appears and I blink in surprise.

I look at the clock and it's gone eight o'clock and I haven't had anything to eat since an late brunch with the others and my stomach starts to rumble telling me that I need to feed it.

I love my kitchen it's perfect, my little house has all that I need including a lovely oversized kitchen. My grandmother left it to me a couple of years ago and I loved living here. Looking through my fridge didn't inspire me as it usually did and I would have to make a trip to the shops tomorrow to fill the fridge and cupboards after being away for a few days. Well it looks like a trip to the diner then for me. I fancy something different anyway.

The diner in Forks isn't very far from anywhere in the town and anything you want to find out you ask there. Mike and Jess Newton run the diner and have done since her parents decided they were going to use their savings for a long honeymoon. That was two years ago now and none of them have looked back. Mike was a fantastic chef and Jess was brilliant with people.

'Hi Jess, how's it going?'

We chatted a bit before I gave my order. Jess filled up my coffee and stood looking at me.

'Did you hear about the old building in town? It's being turned into a Library at long last by the Cullens. They are looking for someone to get it up and running and look after it.' She smiled. 'I've put your name forward to Esme Cullen and said I'll tell you to pop by tomorrow.'

'..but I don't know anything about running a library Jess.' I replied, shocked.

'That maybe but you've got more interest in books than anyone else I know Bella.' She grinned at me. 'Give it a go, who knows what you'll find?'

This is my first fan-fiction story, please let me know what you think. I'll try to update on a regular basis at least once a week and hopefully more when the time lets me.
