Turn off the lights

As we wake to the last day of 2020 we try to not reflect on the struggles and throw a positive hat on for the year ahead.

Christmas came and went in tears of joy and tears of sadness. We talked to our loved ones far away, some are battling their covid isolation, some are waiting for operations when the hospitals are free…and some lucky ones are surrounded by family.

And those we lost are looking down at us from maybe a better place.

We are filling our days with tasks to avoid thinking too much about the place we now find ourselves in.

The Bonnici Carter’s had a year without our Dad and hubby – missing Russ every step of the way. We lost mum in February and Sandy in July, leaving Dad in shock and Sue number one caregiver!

Dan has nearly rebuild his house, Sue has nearly renovated, Jaxon got married and is about to become a dad, George has taken on the kiwi lifestyle, gym, music and mates!

And Trudi got a new Bike!

I have become a painter, gardener, carer and mediator! Turning 60 doesn’t seem to bring peace and relaxation, rather a franticness of time not to be wasted!

Well goodbye 2020, as we dream of fishing, love and laughter…baby steps!
