Life - and let’s face it, death – got in the way of blogging
a bit this year. I’m very aware that my plan to get in guest posters from my
ectopic days foundered almost from the outset, but I fully intend to get that
going again this year. I’m also aware that my “Gifts of Infertility” series has
languished for over a year now, but there are still a couple more I want to
write. I don’t have any urge to shut down the blog, or to stop thinking or
writing about living a no kidding life, but everything slowed this year,
including commenting, and I’m neither pleased nor proud of that.
So rather than set specific resolutions requiring improved
performance next year, which is just asking for failure, I thought I’d share some
of my favourite posts I wrote this year.
There were a few short posts, just reminding us to look
for joy, and to trust in
ourselves.
I wrote a series about the idea that “you
can achieve anything you put your mind to it.” These were some of my best
posts, and were an important part of the message I wanted to give this year, especially the message at the very end of the series - that we too have privilege.
This is of course a nod to Mel who used to run the Crème de la Crème,
where we would list our favourite post of the year, and always provided
inspiring reading. So even though it doesn’t happen officially now, I hope that
you too will list your favourite posts from your own blogs, on your blogs.
Happy New Year!
I will be doing a similar post in the next day or so -- thank you for the reminder! ;)
ReplyDeleteI loved the "putting your mind to it" series, that view along with the "never give up" is just so prevalent in the TTC. And your posts about privilege in the infertility world also gave me a lot to think about.
