I could not allow the fact that I am currently overseas on holidays prevent me from a final post for 2025. As we see out the last of 2025 and prepare to welcome a new, unblemished slate my wish remains the same as what I wrote at the end of 2024:

Resolutions are not really something that I do but I am keen to work on some key principles and encourage others to do likewise as we move into 2025. Things like kindness, gratitude, sharing, empathy and community spring to mind. Nothing too big or exciting but simply woven into every day and making a difference to our own and other people’s lives.

Unfortunately, there have been many events which have sorely tested our collective kindness but they have only served to strengthen my resolve in 2026.

May 2026 be all you wish for and I look forward to continuing to share my thoughts and experiences with you in a few weeks when I return home. In the meantime you can follow my holiday adventures here.
