2020 - Time to pick up the blog!

So, six years on, it's time I said Hello again to the Blogosphere. Been a busy time, raising a teen, travelling internationally and carrying on my education whilst working full time. There's lots, of course, I won't say here... suffice it to say, I'm back, with more to learn, more to wonder about, and lots of things to be grateful for.

While there's life, there's hope
Mass extinction may be underway, but while there's life, as they say, there's hope. And sometimes even death isn't the end. Thinking of folk in Australian bushfires - and feeling their relief at news of a little rain to dampen things for a few days.  Thinking too of USA interactions with Iran and Iraq (inter alia) and wondering where all of that is going to lead us. Meanwhile, we have responsibilities and things we CAN influence for the better...

I'm pondering the possibility of starting a new blog, to address the challenges of continuing to grow and learn and overcome obstacles in the face of adversity, failure and plain stubbornness! Or maybe I'll save the effort and just keep going here for now! Happy New Year, 2020.
