10 things to be grateful for
What positive events have taken place in your life over the past year?
- After a bit of a scare with a raised PSA level I still have good health for someone of my age. Get your prostate checked guys whatever age you are.
- I marked my birthday by handing in my resignation and embarked on a new journey in life. It hasn’t always been easy but it has been right.
- I got the chance to teach an amazing class of art students online during the summer. After two very difficult years it reminded me why I am a teacher.
- I visited Stonehenge and entered the Stone Circle. It was an amazing experience and I would recommend it to anyone.
- I visited Salzburg and went to the Christmas Market. I have always wanted to do that, but with my teaching schedule I have never previously had the opportunity. It was every bit as good as I could have imagined.
- I have used my extra time to focus on my writing in general and my blog in particular. This has enabled me to develop as a writer.
- I have increased my blog views by around 300% this year! Writing every day has given me a regular and increasing audience. The links for some of my articles are throughout this post so why not click on a few?!
- I set myself the challenge of analysing Christmas Magazines from 1896 to 2025. It’s been a real undertaking and I haven’t had many views on those posts yet, but I have no doubt it’s been well worth doing. The link is for the latest one, but look for Blogmas 2025 on my blog for the rest. They’re really good and well worth a read.
- My family are healthy and all four of my children have made progress this year in different ways. As a parent you can ask for no more than that.
- I am looking forward to what 2026 will bring in a way I can’t remember doing for any New Year in a really long time.
