I'm doing 41 things
Myself and my partner Sean took our daughter to the seaside for the first time. It was a nice weekend, if not as relaxing as we’d hoped. The memories and photos of this, though, are clouded by sadness as Sean was killed in a car crash just a month or so later. It was our first and last holiday as a family.

This is a very hard goal to complete. Worrying about what others think is so deeply engrained in me that it will take a huge effort to change. I think firstly it’s important to recognise actions I take or don’t take that are affected by what other people might think or say and THEN try to modify them next time around. Just got to keep chipping away.
