No more excuses – just honesty

Well what can I say…. Its been over a year since my last post (I think)!

You may be thinking where I have been these last few months… To be honest, nowhere! I felt like I was becoming bored of blogging, so I just simply stopped. I wasn’t trying to blog – I haven’t been trying to stop, I just didn’t have the same motivation which was making it harder for me to produce ideas of what I wanted to blog about. All of my blogs are positivity and funny quotes that I thought would’ve been funny for other people.

As well of not wanting to blog, I’ve had some sad news of losing a beloved pet that I adored to the moon and back. And I’ve also had happy news that I am now officially a God Mother and I started in a clubhouse called Phoenix Clubhouse in Dublin. I have been trying to focus on looking after my own mental health and knowing when to slow down and trying to blog something when I simply wasn’t in the mood was only starting to annoy me.

My posts are still there if you would like to read them

In the meantime,
Take care,
Amanda

Happy New Year

Happy New Year to all my followers on WordPress. I know this year has been a difficult one for so many, not just in Ireland, but all around the world.

Let me share some positive things that happened this year in my life.

I’ll be an aunt again in early 2022
I’m more self aware of my feelings
I rely more on myself and less on other people
I turned the big 3-0 in April

Even though its been a hard year, never ever think that you’re a failure. Getting through last year and this year alone is an achievement in itself.

To all the healthcare workers, keyworkers, carers, schools, front line staff and to everyone else who is just getting by.

THANK YOU

All of you chose to put your lives at risk to save others from this nasty disease. There is no greater gift than a gift of life. Families were reunited for Christmas. And its because of you we all get to spend 2022 together. You’ve all proved that we as a nation can and will beat this disease together.
