Reflecting on May

I seem to have got myself a little muddled in my blog ordering recently. Anyone else getting things muddled as life begins to return to normal?

How are you feeling lately?

I can’t quite believe we are midway through 2021 already. I’m still going with my 365 project. Although it definitely feels more like a 52 week project now. The thing to remember is to keep going and keep growing.

What was the best part of May?

  • My littlest had his 7th birthday, why do they grow up so quickly?
