Prints of Hope with Desenio
AD – This post is in collaboration with Desenio
2020 has been a long and challenging year for all of us. As we approach Winter, we are heading to another 6 months of unknown, unease and ongoing restrictions and all of us will be spending a lot more time in our own four walls, including working from home, where we can, for the foreseeable future. After spending so much more time at home than normal; many of us are reaching that stage of ‘lockdown fatigue’ right at the point that we need to follow it the most. It’s really hard to stay positive, but stay positive we must.
Thanks to Desenio, I recently bought some messages of hope into our home – a little reminder that we can cope with whatever 2020 still has in store for us. Back in March if you’d have asked me whether I could adapt to 6 months home schooling my children whilst working part time and simultaneously running my own business I’d have laughed in your face, yet here we are – we came out the other side and proved that we are far more resilient than we give ourselves credit for!
Here are some of my favourite (hopeful quotes) from the Desenio range of prints and posters.

If the last 6 months have proved anything it is that when it comes to the crunch, love is really all you need. No fancy holidays, no days out, no big expenditure or fancy meals in fancy restaurants – just the people you love together under one roof. And even when we can’t physically be with the ones we love, that love never goes away, we just have to find other ways to show it. The Zoom Calls, the food parcels, the card with a hug in just to show that we care. Love really is the most important thing in the world.

After such a long amount of time it can be hard to stay positive, particularly at times when it feels like we take 3 steps back for every 2 we move forward; but just like our ancestors navigated their way through the Spanish Flu in 1920, we will do the same. We have to stay hopeful that good things are yet to come, and remember these little things when life does return to ‘normal’ – whatever that new normal may look like.
[perfectpullquote align=”full” bordertop=”false” cite=”” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=””]Some day everything will make sense[/perfectpullquote]
It’s fair to say that 2020 has been somewhat confusing at times. Stay at home, go out, stay in, go to the office – the bombarding of messages has come thick and fast, and the reasons for the decisions and their timing isnt always entirely clear.
This particular print sums up all of my emotions at the moment. I am hopeful that one day, in the words of that very wise snowman Olaf, absolutely everything will make sense, but for now, we need to trust that everything happens for a reason and take the time to care. Love really does conquer all.
[perfectpullquote align=”full” bordertop=”false” cite=”” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=””]We will get through this together[/perfectpullquote]
Again this is a PERFECT quote for 2020 – it’s not as simple as looking after No.1 – our actions, our risks and our decisions affect everyone around us, and we owe it to those more vulnerable than ourselves to work together to fight this virus. We will get through it, but we have to work as a team to do so.
