Ah, where do I start? The last few months have been crazy. I have experienced significant success in my career, one of which is the taking over of @diyhub, and I have also been on the other side of the spectrum—rejection, pain, loss, etc. I think I can only be thankful at this point. Thankful for all the lessons. As the title of one of my favorite books of all time says; sometimes you win, sometimes you learn

While I have been away, I have signed up for a gym. It was one of my main New Year resolutions and I finally signed up last Tuesday. All my body aches though, lol. When I walked in, the instructor asked if I had ever been to the gym due to my physique, but I hadn't. It has been a week of warm-ups and stuff, and now the heavy lifting begins. A long road ahead.
I have had a lot of work troubles too, which has significatntly destabilized me a bit. Sour relations, office politics, power play, etc. I am still trying to find my feet, but I started the year on a great note with a staff confirmation letter. Doesn't get much better than that. Overall, I have been trying to survive and do the things I love. I will also try to get more involved with the community. Hopefully, I will share more info and writing with you guys soon. Till next time. Ciao.
