I was tagged for this on tumblr and thought I'd post it here, too.

10 Good Things In 2016

Tagged by the lovely @thefairfleming

1. My immediate family is safe and healthy and, ultimately, happy.

2. I have an interesting and varied job that I’m made myself indispensible for and I’ve learned SO much and I’m really enjoying it. (I work in a farmhouse! There are so many SHEEP and DOGS!)

3. I finished the bare bones of my original novel that I’ve been working on for four years. I just need to get all the pieces together and fill in some blanks. And write the sequel.

4. I finally allowed myself to realise that getting an upper back massage isn’t a luxury, but something that I actually need to get through the month.

5. Ghostbusters! Black Sails! Lucifer! Constantine! Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries! Bob Ross! From Dusk till Dawn! - Just a few things that I watched and enjoyed this year.

6. I’ve learned so much about so many different things that are affecting people around the world. I’m limited in what I can do, but I’m doing all that I can. I voted for a woman to be the president of the United States and that’s no small thing.

7. I walk beside the sea every morning.

8. I’ve gotten to know new people - in person and virtually and I’m so happy to know you all!

9. I got to travel to St David’s, Pembrokeshire, Wales and it was lovely!

10. Despite this year trying to kick my butt, I haven’t let it. I’ve stayed aware of my limitations and helped myself to take better care of myself and my family. I’ve drawn boundaries and kept to them and feel better for it. 2017 is going to be tough, but I can do it. So can you! I love you all!
