and so we are entering a new decade and if 2010/2020 is anything to go by then the 2020’s should be pretty amazing. 2010 was a good year but 2011 brought cancer and it’s fallout, gambling addiction for five and a half years and destitution.
So it will be much better, I can feel that already.
In fact I have worked out major change, sometimes traumatic has always had a seven in it from 1967, 1977, 1987, 1997 2006 (bucked the 7 trend) and 2017. All of these very difficult years of change and loss.
So 2020 feels freeing up somehow. I have narrowed down the things I really would like to do, it was broader last year but I have really focused on what I would like to spend my time doing.
My goals and hopes:
Work
I will explore options of getting a better work and life balance, whatever way that will manifest. I spend too much time commuting and at work. My bank balance is much lower than it was at the end of 2018 so my income will increase doing work I enjoy and is fulfilling whilst allowing plenty of free time. It is possible.
Leisure
I will have more fun in 2020 and enjoy each day.
Study
I haven’t studied for a while, deliberately having given it a break, having done huge amounts in my lifetime. I will enrol for a dietary course I have been looking at for some time now explore drama therapy at CIty Lit, there is a taster in July. I will look at going to arvon creative writing retreats (thanks Steev). I will take up driving again, fed up with stinky buses and tubes.
Health
I will eradicate this gut condition and get a proper diagnosis which eludes still after 3 years. Will continue with the diet.
Debt
Bankruptcy or not will be known by end of March.
I will continue to make progress and inroads into debt issues, progress has been slow but steady during 2019. The big ones I have been avoiding I have started to tackle.
Teeth, sorted will be getting done in March
I will improve my core by doing things like Pilates
I will see about booking that Venice Simpson lake Garda break even if not this year.
House, to transform and shift rooms, the front room will shift to become bens bedroom and vice versa.
Family, we will all get together
I am also open to happy surprises, and lots of them in 2020!
Happy New Year, one and all!
