Goodbye 2021...and Good Riddance

 It's been a horrible year and I'll be glad to say goodbye to it. It's another tough day. Mum and I usually see in the New Year together. I'll call or Skype her and we'll watch and listen to Big Ben ringing in another year. We've done it for...well, as Mum would have said, we've done it for donkey's years. We usually have a natter, sing Auld Lang Syne and then finally I'd be able to say I'll see you later this year, rather than saying I'd see her next year. Sigh. Good Memory, but really sad. I suppose in time it will be a little easier. I'm going to try to find a way to listen or watch and have a drink in her memory. 

On a positive note I've been thinking about 2022 and goals. Hopefully I'll have some to share. I haven't posted for a couple of days as I've just been feeling a little off but I have been doing some thinking. A lot of the plans I had for this year barely got started before Mum got sick. I want to follow through on some of those and maybe make new goals. I don't do resolutions as those tend to last for a bit and then when I fail (which ultimately I do) I abandon them altogether. So rather than resolutions there will be goals. I shall try breaking them down into smaller more managable goals. I shan't be too hard on myself if I do fail. I shall pick myself up and start again. 

Do you make resolutions? Monthly goals? Long term goals? 

I hope you have a safe and peaceful New Year's Eve.

  1. There can't have ever been worse years for you than 2021. 2022 WILL be better. Keep blogging - I enjoy your wonderful photos of somewhere I shall never see in real life.

    1. Thank you! There has to be better days ahead, right? I'm going to try to go forward and remember some of the good times with Mum instead of the guilt and sorrow.

  2. Happy New Year, Sharon. (((HUGS))) There will be more difficult days filled with memories, but, eventually, you will find that those days become less and less difficult. I look forward to reading your goals. I make resolutions and goals! :D

  3. I'm the same as you and set goals throughout the year instead of making specific resolutions. Good luck with the goals you set for yourself.

    Did you see that AYWMC is doing a #365 photo project this year?

    1. Thanks! I did see that. We've done one the last couple of years in the Emma Davies Camera Club but this is the first year I think it's being done in AYWMC. If you're on Facebook there is a group. Can't remember the name offhand but I can let you know if interested.

  4. Happy New Year Sharon. I'm setting goals too this year. I plan to make better use of my growing space and want to grow more edible flowers so that my garden is beautiful as well as productive. It will be nice to here all about your days out and to see the photo's that you take this coming year. Stay safe love. x
