A few weeks ago I was back in the office and chatting with a coworker from my old team. He asked if I was still blogging and I said “nah, not really, been busy.” Which was true but I am no more busy than I was when I started blogging last year.
Truth is I stopped blogging because this blog reminded me of the plans that were ruined by 2020. I wanted to forget about the trip that never happened. I had been so invested in the trip to Japan that it was hard to go back to blogging.
I wanted to wallow in feeling like 2020 sucked and I got nothing done, but it’s not true.
I finished my first year of my degree and I got good marks too.
I lost 10kg and started on a path to being the healthiest I have been since I left the Navy.
I finished my Iron Man cross stitch which I have been working on for 5 years.
I had more time with family than ever (thank you, work from home)!
2020 was pretty good. Not great, but good. 2021 might be more of the same. I’d love to go to Japan this year but… we’ll see. I’m not betting on it. I do want to blog more, be more creative. Maybe I can log my health and fitness journey, and my Japanese language learning, and maybe even do a blog tour of my Animal Crossing island – all of the important things.
