I had these big intentions to really focus and give attention to my blog this year. 4 posts into January and then those intentions seem to have been forgotten. I wrote quarterly reviews last year and really enjoy looking over them now, and wanted to continue it this year also. It's been an odd 3 months though hasn't it due to the Coronvavirus, and it&…
Read moreLooking over my ‘ Dear 2019 ’ post I actually felt really proud of myself. “in 2019 I am going to make me more important. Looking after myself, my needs, my wants, my feelings. Make me a priority and to look after myself, no matter what the consequences are.” “I've not had the best start to the year, but, I will not let that define how my year will be. …
Read moreIt always feels like starting a blog project is such a big commitment. There have been various that I have started or have wanted to start but then never followed through with. In March I decided that instead of writing monthly update posts, to instead write " Quarter Reviews ". I've really enjoyed doing it and it's been lovely looking back over a…
Read moreAs we now head, far too quickly for my liking, into the final quarter of the year it's my chance to look over the third quarter. It's not been the best.

Read moreI really enjoyed writing and have since enjoyed looking back and reading my " 2019: The First Quarter Review" . So I thought it was something I should definitely continue with. We'll ignore the fact that this is 2 months late! The second quarter has been a bit of a funny one. In March I got a 6 month promotion with work which was a real eye opener an…
Read moreI'm always trying to think of different ways I can blog my life, my experiences and my years. Gosh that sounds so ridiculous. I do find it so awkward when someone says "What do you blog about?" "erm....myself?!" I just had this thought come to me though that, as my plan of monthly posts and actually blogging in general seems to have taken a …
Read moreDear 2019 You have a lot to live up to. Last year was great. It obviously had its down times, in fact a few of those with two deaths in the family, one of which I am finding it incredibly hard to still come to terms with, as well as the passing of a blogging friend.

Read moreI wrote a post titled this in 2016 and then failed to do one for 2017 which was a little frustrating as I had it sat, unfinished, in drafts for quite a while. Anyway.
