2020 has been a strange year so far. I'm sure I'm not the only one who had great plans for the year and nothing went according to plan. We've had to respond the best way we can to constantly changing situations.
One of the plans I had was to not only create more consistently but also put out more content. 6 months into the year, I'm writing my first blog post and I have no idea if I'll be able to do it on a regular basis, but all I can do is create the first post and see where things go.
A lot has happened since the last time I posted. I moved to a new area of the city, I'm now closer to the lake and we're loving being close to the water. The pace is different and it's great for creative inspirations. I'm obviously not doing live paintings to earn a living, and have switched to creating social media posts for clients as well as managing their accounts, amongst other things.
Still I've been painting as well on a semi-regular basis. More before I moved, but now that I'm more settled in my new place, I plan to pick up where I left off and ideally post about them here on a more consistent basis.
One positive outcome of the events this year for me is that I've been reading and listening to audiobooks a lot more. I challenged myself to read 30 books for the year and I'm currently reading book No 27! That's on making the most of the situation.
I'm back here because I can't help it. I guess writing, however novice I feel I am at it, is something I need to do. So here it is. I have no idea who's going to read this, but it doesn't matter. It just needs to come out.
So if you're reading this, thank you for stoping by. I hope it brings you something positive in your life. Say hello in the comments if you like. It's always nice to know that it's reaching people somewhere on the planet. Hope you're able to make the most out of 2020 despite the challenges that have been put to help us grow and do better.
Till next time, take care.
MJ
