#on2020

It’s that time of year where I get to reflect on the year. The highlight to the year has been the publishing of my book Cerebral Palsy: ‘A Story’ Finding the Calm after the Storm.

I have shied away from writing about Brexit on my blog recently because my attentions have turned to more positive things. I have been working on the edits for my second book, due out in the summer of 2021.

We have also had the pandemic to deal with this year and in the UK Brexit to contend with that comes into effect on the 1st January 2021 after 4 years of negotiations with the EU. The best deal the UK had, was the deal they already had.

With one more day to go until the UK is out of the EU and the EU becomes assigned to the history books, the UK government will never agree they were wrong for calling the 2016 referendum.

It’s been made clear through the process that politicians have an inflated sense of their own importance and will not accept other people’s opinion, unless another person’s opinion is their own.

With the pandemic also to contend with and global warming, it makes it even more important countries and politicians work together. Truthfully, I am struggling to get my head around what they’ve done. Hardships will continue once the UK is permanently out.

This is when ordinary people, begin to count the cost of what Brexit really means, including shortage of food and medicine, loss of jobs, a lowered economy. The end of a very bad year and I can’t wait to see the back of it, with more hardships in the coming years. Our problems have only just begun.

But I am choosing to believe there is still good out there and that good will eventually prevail. I’m closing the year on a more positive note with my second book publishing next year.
