Happy New Year from Wellpool!

I think it’s fair to say that 2016 has been a ‘dramatic’ year. So many cultural icons have passed away. For many of us, those deaths have ripped apart the cultural backdrop we grew up with. Many people will have also experienced personal loss and grief – lost family members, friends, relationships…

But we move on to a new year and, at least for this blogger, that involves reflection on the past year and looking at the positives in order to go forward with them, rather than being held back by the negativity that has touched 2016.

Rather than mourn their loss, I choose to celebrate their influence and to be grateful that that influence, however great or small, touched my life.

It would be very easy to dwell on the lows this year has thrown at us. I, personally, try not to do that. I prefer to grab the hope and opportunities that the high points have shown me with both hands.

Happy New Year to all our readers, old and new!
