This year has been one of the most challenging that I can remember. Maybe I just have a short memory as I'm getting older. But I will be glad when the year is done and I'm hoping next year will have fewer challenges, tho realise there is not much chance of that. I take my hat off to those in trickier circumstances who manage to get through.
Some of the struggle arises from the isolation when challenges can't be made public. I'm grateful to those who have supported me when things have been roughest. There have been many times when I've found strength to deal with things I didn't think I'd be able to. And times when I have discovered my limits.
My new year's resolution is to strengthen my support network further as changes this year means that my places where I have been able to find support have shifted.
But first Christmas.
Turns out it is harder than you'd think to deliver gifts on Christmas eve in a Santa mask. It was my friends idea that I wear a disguise - meant I kept the anonymity without having to knock on the door and run. Lots of folk weren't there tho. Maybe I'll try a different day next year. I had one opportunity to do a good listen tho, so that was worth it.
