I've taken a long (and not entirely restful) break from the world of blogging. I've been
reading blogs and
thinking about blogs, but I haven't managed to find the time to actually commit to my own blog.
There are plenty of arguments out there against the world of blogging - how unrealistic they are and how writer's only focus on the highlights of their lives, painting a perfect picture for readers - making readers feel the inadequacies of their own lives. I disagree. As a blogger, it makes you look for the positives and focus on the happy moments you want to share. Where there is happiness, more happiness follows.
I'm making a belated new year's resolution. I want to make more of the positives. Make more of an effort to reflect on the good in a day.
What better time than halfway through the year?
SO much has happened since I've been away.
I've moved house with B. We are still trying to make it a home, but it's big, warm and far nicer than anything I've ever lived in in England! More on that in a future post!
We got married! That will take a post or two I'm sure.
We went on Honeymoon to the Maldives!
Kuramathi Island Resort was the ultimate holiday. I even went snorkelling!
B completed Med school! Finally, Dr B!
We had a second wedding in Ohio with the Americans. So many familiar faces and happy memories made. I miss my American friends and family more than ever.
B stayed with my parents and had a crash course in the American system in preparation for a potential
big move! He was able to be a part of the family and attended my brother's graduation!
Nothing much has changed in the world of work. I love my colleagues and love my job - stressful as it is, I've got a great support network.
I have so much in my life to be thankful for. Hopefully I can share more of that with the blogging community!
xx
