Welcome back to my monthly blog!
I can’t believe that we’re half way through November, and a mere 39 days away from Christmas Day. Whilst I’m incredibly excited for Christmas, I can’t stand this time of year as I always seem to get a bit run down. Over the past few months, I’ve definitely been on auto-pilot – I wake up at 6:30am, go to work, come home at 5:30pm, write on my laptop until the early hours, get a few hours sleep and repeat the process each weekday. Throw in (fun yet exhausting) trips away for both work and leisure on the weekends, and I’m ready to sleep for a million years.
I can’t wait to be able to recharge my batteries over the Christmas period, but at the moment it feels far too long away. In order to try and pull myself out of this little miserable slump and get me through the next 39 days, I thought I would remind myself of (and share with you) 39 things that exist in the world which make me happy.
