Thank you, Friends ๐Ÿ™‚

 

I’ve been enjoying summarising my yearsย since 2017. Thenย another post followed a year later,with the latest oneย from China.

So what’s happened since?

  • I enjoyed most of my post birthday summer last year in Shanghai – having friends there too made the whole experience beyond exceptional!
  • I started having some work done on the house – actually more than had planned for and, my oh my, it’s still on hold and it’s still driving me bonkers :-/
  • I really got back into climbing and have been making progress, especially with my leading skills
  • I completed Climbing Wall Instructor (CWI) course
  • I’ve meditated (almost) on daily basis- if not, I substituted it with some positive affirmations. Perhaps one or two might have slipped through the net? But I guess that’s my opportunity to being nice to myself and truly understand that it’s ok to have a slip up and/or toย make an occasional mistake.
  • I attended Wisdom Born of Stillness weekend retreat with Ajahn Brahm atย Gaia House – and Ajahn Bear was there with me, of course ๐Ÿ™‚
  • I attended Love To Break All Boundaries: Metta Retreat with the Venerable Canda atย The Barn: things aren’t always so fluffy and easy as they sound, but they’re definitely worth it!
  • I’ve started yet another Masters degree! Yeah, I know ๐Ÿ™‚ But I’m loving it, despite an occasional tantrum ๐Ÿ˜‰
  • Despite some rather rubbish past experiences, I’ve braved the weird world of online dating again… This though requires a whole new and separate post, if not a book ๐Ÿ˜‰ Maybe some time soon. I have a plan. You may hear it about in not so distant future ๐Ÿ™‚
  • …and since you’re asking, yeah, I’m enjoying it this time ๐Ÿ™‚
  • I’ve met amazing, supportive, kind and lovely people – I just can’t imagine not feeling grateful ย for who (and what) I have in my life ๐Ÿ™‚
  • I experienced being furloughed
  • I’ve been asked to be my good friend’s bridesmaid ๐Ÿ™‚ We even managed to go on a great hen do in Spain and be back just in time for lockdown…
  • I might be getting more ideas about what I want to do when I grow up… ๐Ÿ˜‰
  • I’ve learnt some online teaching skills!
  • Life goes on…

Once you use it you cannot deny the fact that you can use your web browser to access information on a wide range of topics it seems that this rule does not apply. buy viagra in canada They cheapest levitra http://www.devensec.com/news/Summer_2018_newsletter_2.pdf used it often, and many times it worked quite well. Many persons online viagra who try Organic Acai get very disappointed and think that Acai is just another scam. These foods may lessen the quality of each discount levitra devensec.com items and even in all levitra proved itself over the years as happiness for male sexuality.
Ok, the thing is that not everything in the last year was all hunky-dory…And of course I experienced a lot of emotional ups and downs. But as 2020 seems to generate lots of (so called ) negative feelings and emotions, I just wanted to focus on good and meaningful events in my life. What have I learnt? Hmmm….The biggest takeway for me was to learn to set up and/or assert my boundaries much better and develop abilities not to get sucked in into somebody else’s’ dramas (especially happy with this one!). The old Polish proverb ‘Not my circus, not my monkeys’ has finally started making sense to me. I’ve learnt freakishly lots about myself in a relatively short period of time. I recognised my strengths and excepted my vulnerable self more. I love being a human being , though this often requires that vulnerability, which I’m still working on. I enjoy being ‘a work in progress‘ kind of person as for me it’s more realistic, more true and authentic than pretending that I’m (almost) perfect. I know that there’s plenty I need to work on, but for now I’ll stick to being (just the right amount of) enough.

I think here’s only one more thing to say :

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ™‚
