As promised, I’d like to review 2021 and look at 2022 to set some goals.
In February, my dad suffered a very scary stroke. I had a glued ear in August. My partner and several of my friends had COVID-19 in October. It wasn’t pleasant. We all came through it. My doctor was less than helpful afterwards. To conclude the year, I developed another ear infection.
Last year seems to have been the year of ill health, yet also the fulfilment of longstanding goals. My goals last year were:
- I didn’t move that far along my Bardic Path, but I have now discovered the tools it gives me
- I have made progress in my Ogham course. I am studying Willow. I found that each tree shows me something unique
- I’ve managed to get onto a much more stable footing financially
- I learned how to set up new programming environments using Docker at work
- After 3 years of discussion, our roof and building were painted!
- I grew 25 tomato plants and then lost them all to tomato blight.
What have I learned?
- There are always different solutions to problems
- One size fits all isn’t good enough for me
- Sometimes you have to take a risk to get to where you need to be
- People can be much better off where they need to be
- Listen to your spirit guides
- Don’t plant 25 tomato plants close to each other!
This is certainly going to be a fascinating year. My spirits reveal that I will have a lot of inspiration this year. Combined with that, there will be a need to look back and reflect on my life. This year, my goals are:
- Complete my Ogham Course
- Become a Celtic Reiki practitioner
- Learn many Scottish stories to share
- End the year nearly debt-free
- Grow a successful season of food
- Discover if I sit on the Autistic Spectrum!
2021 was a year with a lot of challenges. I expect 2022 to be similar. A lot is going on in the world. But, at the end of the day, all you can do is make sure that you and your own are well!
