Month End Review: January 2021

January 2021 came swiftly like the 13th month pay we got last year. At first it was the New Year, the first day of the year filled with colors of hope. The next thing we know the whole month had already passed us by and it didn't even feel like we've done much.

For me, it has been an exceptionally busy month. January is when we usually pick up the slack the holiday season left us. But it felt like it was for the whole 2020. Meetings here and there were uncommonly long and arduous. Goals had to be verified again and again, taking in consideration the new normal extended this year.

I found myself frequently having head and neck pains, probable consequences of mental and emotional exhaustion as well as prolonged sitting. But I cannot complain, not much that is. I am still one of the lucky ones who still have a job despite the pandemic.

Also, I've had my medical check up recently and it seems like the fight isn't over. No closure for me and my illness yet. But I am positive that things will be better and healthier for me this year.

January has set a tone for the year 2021. It's a bit overwhelming and demanding. But nothing great comes easy. I just hope February 2021 and the rest of the year will bring us more success, not just in work but in our personal struggles as well.
