New Beginnings

I don’t usually blog every day but when this came up in my memories on FB I felt I needed to set it down here. I first shared this on my personal FB page in January 2020. Wishful thinking? I mean who could know that two years later here we are? I wouldn’t say I’ve wasted the last two years or that they haven’t brought me other benefits. Being locked up with my husband who normally would be commuting a week of every month to the UK that’s been a learning curve and a blessing. So much so that we have re- evaluated our work life balance and are making some pretty big changes this year.  On the flip side our families are in another country and we have had no physical contact with them throughout but we have used technology to stay connected. It has given me the opportunity to develop skills and strengthen friendships, build a community with other creative people. Explore new possibilities.

I’ve missed lots of happy and sad events, weddings, celebrations, funerals. All attended online, all for people I care about and those are times I will never get back. All those happy and sad tears cried without the comfort of a hug. This makes those words so much more poignant.

I’m working on a few new things this year which I will share once I have something concrete to show. In the meantime, I have every intention of making the most of what I do have, there really is no time like the present for who knows what tomorrow will bring, restrictions permitting!
