Year 2020

Hello to one and all!

The year 2020...what can we say about this year?

A LOT has happened this year, but I will name all of what happened...I will try and keep this blog post shorter than the previous "Year" blogs that I have done.

This year has been a weird and also a sad year because we had to say goodbye to good people.

This year...was a year were we had - and still have - a pandemic. It is due to the Covid-19 (Coronavirus.)

I am sure you all know how the virus was created, and how the virus is spread.

There are precautions that we need to take while we are still in this pandemic. They are:

• Social distance.
• Sanitize our hands.
• Wear a mask.
• Stay home as much as possible.

We need to practice these precautions because it can help reduce the spread of the virus.

This year we had to go under lockdown, which meant we needed to stay home as much as possible, and it would help reduce the spread of the virus. Under lockdown, we were not allowed to go out of our homes unless it was for essential items or if we needed to visit the doctor.

I will add that this year has opened a lot of people's eyes to the world around us. There are a lot of events that we are aware of now than before, and what I have found this year...is truly frightening. I won't go into detail about it, but I will say this: There was something I wanted to do, and what I found out about it...is scary.

One a positive note, I spent more time with my family members and cherished the moments I had with them.

This year had many deaths, and most were due to Covid-19. My heart goes out to all those who have lost their loved ones and their friends. Losing someone is not a nice thing to feel.

Here are a few good people we had to say goodbye to this year:

Chadwick Boseman; Ruth Bader Ginsburg; John Lewis; Regis Philbin; Sean Connery; Kobe Bryant; Diana Rigg; Naya Rivera; Stevie Lee; Kelly Preston; Mary Pat Gleason; Ian Holm; Fred Willard; Irrfan Khan; David Prowse; Alex Trebek and many more.

A few years ago, we had quite a few deaths, but this year...we had way more and I am deeply disheartened by that.

My condolences to all who lost a loved one.

Starbucks made its way to South Africa. Granted there was a Starbucks in Johannesburg, but it has a few stores open in Cape Town now - and I absolutely love it!

A lot of movies that were planned to be released this year had to be postponed until next year, or later in this year. Some movies also moved to VOD (Video on Demand).

A few movies which were released this year were:

After We Collided; Underwater; 365 Days; Emma; The Grudge; Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey; Dolittle; Tenet; I Still Believe; Like A Boss; The Gentlemen; Sonic the Hedgehog; Wonder Woman 1984; The Invisible Man; Onward plus more.

This year, people mainly turned to watching shows on TV, or getting a streaming service so we can watch TV shows in the comfort of our own homes.

There were new shows that aired this year, and some shows were cancelled or renewed this year.

As for music, some albums from music artists were planned to be released this year, but unfortunately, the released had to be postponed.

I will say that there were new songs from music artists that were released this year.

Here are a few new songs released this year:

First up is Evanescence - My absolute favourite band ever!

They have released 4 brand new songs from their upcoming album "The Bitter Truth", which will be released next year in March.

Here is one of my personal favorites from the 4 new songs:

The Game is Over:

https://youtu.be/jJEZgUjjZqM

Butcher Babies also released 2 new songs this year. Here is one of the songs:

Sleeping with the Enemy:

https://youtu.be/nY8UU3VAAs0

Ellie Goulding released an album this year titled "Brightest Blue".

Here is one of her songs "Love I'm Given":

https://youtu.be/sq0t8L8vE-k

Our Last Night released an album this year titled "Let Light Overcome The Darkness".

Here is one of their songs, which is the same as the album title:

https://youtu.be/8jiSx3ghgRY

Amaranthe released their album "Manifest".

Here is one of the songs titled "Do or Die":

https://youtu.be/iZweNFWbegI

Nightwish released their album "Human.:ll:Nature.":

Here is one of the songs titled "Noise":

https://youtu.be/LczGSoibRe8

On a more personal note:

I have taken a course for: HOME EDUCATION DIPLOMA.

It was a course from Centre of Excellence, and I am so happy that I have completes the course this year.

This year, I am also thankful for every single person who has and still supporting me, and I thank each and everyone of you. I also thank those who read my blogs whenever I publish them. I do appreciate it.

I also have a better understanding with regard to what exercises I should be focusing on, and avoiding the exercises that will 'bulk up' my body as I wish to have a lean and toned body.

There were a few things I was going to do this year, but unfortunately I had to put them on hold.

This year I gained new friendships, but I also lost friendships, but you know what? Maybe it was a sign that it wasn't meant to be.

This year...even though I am a Christian, I wanted to connect more with my religion, and it is growing stronger everyday.

2020...has been a weird year for us all. A LOT has happened this year...

From Covid-19, to having weird dreams, to the stories we have heard in the news...

Let us hope that next year, in 2021, that it will bring us hope and joy and not more negative news.

Stay safe,

Stay healthy,

Stay vigilant.

Happy New Year!

God Bless us all!

Motivation for the Week: 11

Hello everyone!

I am back with a new quote for the week for you.

Here is the motivation for the week ahead:

"Maybe you have to

know the darkness

before you can 

appreciate the light"

- Madeline L'Engle

Why I chose these quotes: 
As everyone knows by now, most countries have the Coronavirus (COVID-19).
I chose this quote because we need to appreciate who we have around us. This disease is very sad and it is a devastating time for us all. Some of our family members have this disease and some of us have come into contact with the disease. I consider the Coronavirus a "darkness" right now. Sometimes unfortunately we need to go what the "darkness" is like so that we can appreciate the "light". This is a bad disease I know, so let us spend time with our family as much as possible. We need to appreciate those around us and cherish the moments we have, and to stay safe. I do find it sad that we have to have this disease to realize that we need to be more hygienic with what we handle.
So I will end with this: WASH YOUR HANDS!

Motivation for the Week: 10

Hello everyone!

I am back with a new quote for the week for you.

Here is the motivation for the week ahead:

"Without rain

Nothing grows,

Learn to embrace

The storms of your life."

- Unknown

Why I chose these quotes: 
Literally speaking, if there is no rain, then no vegetation will grow. The storms in this quote could refer to challenges you face or circumstances you may struggle with, or even our own imperfections. Let's take imperfections for example. We must learn to embrace our own imperfections because that is what makes us who we are, and what makes us unique. I know that is hard to embrace - believe me I know - but if we embrace who we are, who knows what will happen.

Motivation for the Week: 9

Hello everyone!

Happy Monday!
I found this quote last week and I really wanted to share this one, but I also liked last week's post as well. So I decided to use that one and then use this one.

Here is the motivation for the week ahead:

"Maybe this day is not

One of your favorites, but

Never forget that every

Day you wake up is an

Amazing gift and its up to

You to make it count"

- Unknown

Why I chose these quotes: 
This quote practically spells out MONDAY.
I know someday's are just not our days - I know believe me. Every new day brings us challenges to face, but it can also bring happiness as well, so we must make our days count.

Thank you for taking time to read this post,

Motivation for the Week: 8

Hello everyone!

Happy Monday!
I am keeping this quote short and sweet.

Here is the motivation for the week ahead:

"The best way to succeed

in this world is to act on the advice

you give to others."

- Unknown

Why I chose these quotes: 
I like this quote because it simply states that you should take your own advice and motivate others because you are motivated yourself. I get sometimes we loose our motivation, but then we should find someone or anything that will motivate us, then we get up off our feet and are motivated.

Thank you for taking time to read this post,

Motivation for the Week: 7

Hello everyone!

I am going to try something a little different for this week's motivation.

Here is the motivation for the week ahead:

"I don't like Mondays."
"Mondays are the worst!"
"Why do bad things always happen to me on Mondays."
"Mondays always made me angry! I am always picked on!"

- Sound Familiar?

Why I chose these quotes: 
Whenever Monday approaches, our mindset is already negative and we are already setting ourselves up for destruction.
Instead of thinking negatively about Monday, think positively instead. Find something that will make you look forward to Mondays. If there is no reason...find one. Think: "Monday! New challenges, new obstacles to face and new events to come in the new week."
We need to change our mindset about Mondays, and remember to smile. It is a new week and who knows, maybe the new week will be a huge opportunity for you...

Motivation for the Week: 6

Hello everyone!

We in February already. Can you believe it? This year is going by quite fast.

Here is the motivation for the week ahead:

"Life is like the ocean. 

Waves will try to knock you down and 

push you back to where you started but once 

you fight through them, the entire ocean is yours."

- Anonymous

Why I chose this quote: 
I came across this quote recently and I have to say, I love this quote!
You could think of the 'waves' as being a challenge you face. You might face a challenge and it can...well...challenge you so much that you fall back to the start. So you can keep moving forward and do not hold back.

Motivation for the Week: 5

Hello everyone!

I have a new quote for the week for you.

Here is the motivation for the week ahead:

"The summit is what drives us,

but the climb itself is what matters."

- Conrad Anker.

Why I chose this quote: 
I recently climbed up a mountain and I at first did not think I would make it, but in the end, I did it! I have not hiked in years, so going hiking again brought back good memories.
I like this quote because the goal we want to achieve is what helps us to moves forward, but it is also the journey that creates the memories for us.

Motivation for the Week: 4

Hello everyone!!
I have a new quote for the week for you.

Here is the motivation for the week ahead:

"Your Monday morning thoughts

set the tone for your whole week.

See yourself getting stronger, and living

a fulfilling, happier and

healthy life."

- Germany Kent.

Why I chose this quote: 
Monday is the start to the week and I have felt that it sets the tone for the week ahead. If you wake up and you are in a bad mood, then your week will not be as good. If you wake up and are happy, then your week will turn out great. I do not know if you have felt like this, but this is what I have learnt from experience. When you get up on a Monday morning, it's a new week, new challenges you can take on. Always remember Monday is usually a symbol of a fresh start to the week ahead and you can see how the week will make you feel. New eating habits or new workouts to try, try to see what you can try for the week that is new and that might help you look forward to Monday.

Motivation for the Week: 3

Hello everyone!!
I have a new quote for the week for you.

Here is the motivation for the week ahead:

"If you have gained

the trust of a horse.

You have won a friend for life"

- Taken from the Cracker Barrel bag.

Why I chose this quote: 
This quote is motivational because it is about trust. To gain a person's trust can be tricky and it is difficult to trust other people, but once you trust each other, then you have formed a bond. For a horse, it is true that you need to gain their trust. Horses are curious animals and it may take time to gain their trust. When you have gained their trust, they will be a friend for you.

Motivation for the Week: 2

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!
How are you enjoying the new year? Are you back to work?

I have a new quote for the week for you.

Here is the motivation for the week ahead:

"It's Monday.

Get up and create 

something amazing

this week."

- Anonymous.

Why I chose this quote: 
I always find that doing something you usually don't do, is always inspiring. The past week I did something I have not done for years and that is...HORSE RIDING! I rode a beautiful horse and whole ride was a wonderful experience. So for this week, do something that you have not done for a long time. make the most of it!

Motivation for the Week: 1

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!
I am starting the motivation with week 1 as it is the start of 2020.
Can you believe we are only 6 days into the new year and the Golden Globe's have already happened?

I have a new quote for the week for you.

Here is the motivation for the week ahead:

"People will forget what you said.

People will forget what you did, but

they will never forget how you made them feel."

- Maya Angelou.

Why I chose this quote: 
We always remember situations because of how we felt in that particular situation. If someone made you very happy by taking you to a place you always wanted to go, you may not remember everything single detail that happened. I like this quote because I see it both positive as negative. By negative I mean maybe you felt sad when a family member passed away. What could also be negative could be an argument you had with someone, and it left you feeling very sad. This quote can be interpreted positively by being excited about an event you always wanted to go to.
