I
guess it's time for the annual 'What Will My Blog Challenge Be This Year?'
blog...
In 2024, I managed to post a different number of postings in each month, which
feels a bit lame now as I've done that one before. With young children in the
house it's hard to commit to anything too taxing as I just don't know what my
physical and mental availability will be day by day. Little people need
attention, and little things can cause big distractions and disruptions. So if
I say something like 'I will post every other day throughout the year, without
deviation from that plan' I am setting myself up for failure. I think, at the
moment, I'd just like to leave things as they are and drop you some missives as
and when it feels appropriate, rather than pressuring myself to achieve
something that will end up feeling empty and unfulfilling anyway.
As far as other plans for the upcoming 12 months - I don't really have any.
I've never been one for sweeping New Year changes or goal-setting stupidity, so
I don't see why I would start now I'm in my 40s. I would like to be a good dad,
and not let work tiredness affect my relationship with my boys at home. I would
like to support Philippa as much as possible in her efforts to get her therapy
sessions working to the extent that she can give up other work. And I'd like to
enjoy my own worklife without trying to reinvent things and without letting
Gavin's occasional mad schemes get in the way of a successfully-running business.
I've been there long enough now to feel confident in what I'm doing, and everything
runs smoothly now if we just follow previous procedures and let it all unfold
naturally. So, if I have a resolution at all, it's to 'leave well enough alone'
and keep things very simple.
