It has been a while since I blogged, be it here or on my other websites. Let’s face it, 2021 was a difficult year for many, I think everyone had something to contend with.
For me 2021 was a mixed bag; the challenges of running a business during a pandemic, my divorce, moving out of the family home, adjusting to co-parenting, school runs and homework routines, buying a place in Southsea, new side-projects, the list goes on…
They do say “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”, so I am thankful for the lessons learnt. Truth be told 2021 was not all bad, on reflection there was equal amounts of good, if not more! Another quote I love is “you only fail when you quit”, worth keeping this in mind if/when you feel low.
Anyway, sometimes it is nice to step back (zoom out) and see how far you have come. We should all reflect and look at the bigger picture. Those that I love are happy/healthy, the resolutions are set, so let’s do this 2022!
