Running into 2021, staying positive

8.4 mile run through Dublin as temp drops and damp pavements get slippy.

Another lockdown, firms closed, more people out of work, schools closed, additional stress and worry, home schooling again.

People are hurting more at the moment let's try to reach out and be kind.

I had a conversation recently with someone about Bonnie Ware the Australian nurse who worked with palative care patients.

She said people grow a lot when faced with their own mortality.

In these strange times it's worth reviewing what her patients told her.

1. I wish I'd have had the courage to live a life true to myself not the life others expected of me.

2. I wish I had not worked so hard.

3. I wish I had the courage to express my feelings.

4. I wish I'd stayed in touch with my friends.

5. I wish I'd let myself be happier.

Life is a choice, it's your life, choose consciously, choose wisely, choose honestly, choose happiness.

Try to take some time in the present amongst the chaos to slow down and make the most of the time at hand and be positive and build a new life jigsaw if you have to.

Stay safe.
