What a Year It Has Been
Hey everyone, I haven’t written on here for a while. What a difficult year it has been. Not being able to see our family and friends has affected us all deeply.
Being a key worker during the pandemic has been one of the hardest things I have ever done, but choosing to remain in my role is also one of the best decisions I have made. I am proud that I carried on working and helping others during such an uncertain time.
My mental health has been affected a lot, but Zoom parties, daily phone calls with friends and support from the people around me have kept me going. It has now been a year since we stood outside our homes and clapped for the NHS and key workers. To everyone in the NHS: thank you. You worked incredibly hard, cared for so many people and made us all proud.
Getting COVID-19 myself was frightening and certainly wasn’t a pleasant experience, but thankfully, I am feeling much better now. Going for walks around my local area has helped me, especially with my best friend by my side—the one who wags her tail as soon as I walk through the door!
I also rediscovered a hobby that became more important than I ever expected. With the card shops closed, I started making my own cards. Before I knew it, I was busier than I had ever imagined!
Making cards gave me something positive to focus on during a very difficult time. It supported my mental health, kept me creative and gave me a real sense of purpose.
This is what kept me going.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much to every single person who bought one of my cards, supported me and encouraged me. Your kindness meant more than you will ever know.
Thank you to our NHS, our key workers, my family, my friends and everyone who supported my card-making journey. We got through an incredibly difficult year together.
Thank you all. ❤️ xx
