Find your sparkle

Uncategorized 1 Minute

The world seems to have gone a little weird again. I’m not a political person. I try to see the best in everyone and everything. But it’s really hard to get your head around things when there’s so much noise again. It’s OK that we have differences. It’s OK that we think differently. It’s OK. The past doesn’t change just cause we try to rewrite it or erase it. Things don’t change unless we change the present and the future.

This is one of my ‘Pipisms’. I posted it on my business page, but it feels right to post it here too. There’s always something good. That’s why I started this blog. It’s helped me find my sparkle on the darkness days.

So 2020 was going to be my year. The year I got my life sorted after being served redundancy notice from my job in November 2019. The year I ticked off more things from my horsey bucket list. The year I got my mental health back under control and reduced stress in my life. I had a plan. And it was a good one. Then the plan changed dramatically on 2 January. I came off my horse at speed and broke my ankle. Badly. Like all good equestrians, I got back on and rode back to the yard, sorted Buddy out and then drove myself to A&E. That’s where this journey really began... I was sent home from A&E and told to crack on, only to receive a phone call later to say they’d missed a fracture (and a rather serious one at that). Whoops! So fracture clinic on 3 January, surgery on 5 January and home to recover. I started this blog as a way to chart my recover back to the saddle. As I cleared clinics and competitions out of my diary and wondered what the next few months would bring, it's been a safe space for me to say how I'm feeling. The new plan was to get a new job, to keep Buddy is kept ticking over and recover from my injury. Another good plan! I didn't expect a global pandemic, lockdown and all that happened in 2020. This blog has changed over time but it's continued to be my safe space to share the things going on in my life, with Buddy and the cats. Enjoy!
