Dec 23rd Christmas Wishes – 2020

It’s been a pretty rough year for many.

.

After losing a dream role in April due to the pandemic, I’ve been unemployed for most of it, living in my parents place.

I can only hope that 2021 brings positive change to all of you.

.

Despite the negativity of the year, it’s been an excellent chance to appreciate what I do have:

My family is in good health.

.

I’m in rude good health and have had ample opportunity to annoy and torment my detractors.

.

I’ve been able to spend quality time with my daughters. The last week with my girls at my place has been particularly soul cleansing.

.

I’ve been able to spend quality time with old mates, lending a hand where needed (especially helping a few move house), and breaking bread with good times.

.

I’ve been able to meet more of you whom I’ve only interacted with online, face to face for the first time. Putting faces to names/callsigns is one of the most pleasurable moments in life.

.

So let me take this opportunity to wish all of you a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year.

May all of you be able to enjoy and make the most of the Festive Season, and enjoy some time with loved ones.

.

Mental health notice:

I keep banging on about this, and I will continue to do so.

.

If you’re doing it tough this festive season… do not bloody hesitate to reach out to mates and/or support.

We’re not bloody islands. We are beautiful, gregarious creatures.

.

I’m looking forward to a good whiskey and cigar with family and mates.

Hope you get opportunity as well.

Merry Christmas to you all.

.

Forward!
