Merry Christmas to you all, it has been up there with the most challenging years of my life and possibly yours, we have had everything we knew twisted upside down and shaken around. Some of us got ill, others had financial troubles and we all learned what was important to us and how to deal with some the worst times, even if these were more humdrum than we expected.
In other ways it was a good year, we got to focus on some of what was important, our families, our true friends and the simple pleasures. We had to be more introspective and push forward in different ways. We managed to train more than we thought but did a lot less of the things we wanted. When we met up with each other it was more special than it was and we made the most of it.
I just want to say how lucky I am and how much I appreciate you all for your friendship, for training with you and your support in all ways. This year has been a seesaw of emotions and I can’t thank you all enough for evening out the lows and bringing the highs. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
If you are ever in need of anything, or have any ideas of what you want from Wave or myself, please do not hesitate to ask, I promise to always do my best and push through myself to get it done.
In 2021 I hope for a way out of all this so I can see the people that have stayed away. I want us all to train and achieve the successes I know we can achieve, in BJJ and in our lives. We are a diverse and amazing mix of people and we can support each other with anything we want to achieve, we take positive risks and work hard and enjoy life to the fullest. Here’s to a great Christmas and as soon as we can the happiest of New Years in 2021.
