I tend to always be thinking of the past or planning ahead and don't often take the time to really live and appreciate the present. <br /><br />I can relate to a lot of the others and understand what you mean about some being on the list cos you'd like to get to them 'someday'. I think you've done really well and completely agree that some on there take a bit of a work to get there, or perhaps we never get to where we'd like to be with some of them (in terms of our health, or how we feel about ourselves and our confidence) but I guess if we feel we make progress that's all we can ask. <br /><br />It's been lovely connecting this year and I hope you have a wonderful Christmas. xxDebbishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06305239848096384084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-88991508776256028112017-12-23T18:15:43.896+08:002017-12-23T18:15:43.896+08:00Hi Anindya - thanks so much for stopping by and I ...Hi Anindya - thanks so much for stopping by and I enjoyed your post on what Winter in Calcutta is like - so different to the weather here atm :)Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05623420015695351280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-7623837864053147312017-12-23T17:56:43.228+08:002017-12-23T17:56:43.228+08:00Yes....wonderful retrospective that....loved readi...Yes....wonderful retrospective that....loved reading all the things you had to say.....:)....and here's how my 2017 went .... https://mydailyjournalonline.com/looking-back-year-going-thoughts/Anindyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08121174663751434017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-76236763368968078792017-12-22T10:17:39.860+08:002017-12-22T10:17:39.860+08:00I look at you and your two Mums Jodie and I am ama...I look at you and your two Mums Jodie and I am amazed at your self-confidence and your ability to do all that you do in front of the camera.

I never had any resolutions for 2017 as they're generally the same every year - lose weight, get fitter, take a short course and volunteer. I'm not sure of what I want to achieve for 2018 either. As usual I will just wing it!

I never feel good enough in many respects but I'll keep chipping away on that one. I've really enjoyed getting to know you this year and look forward to connecting through our blogs again during 2018.
