Well, 2016 could best be
described as “interesting”. There were
good and bad times, I worked and played hard and ended up feeling completely
overwhelmed. My “few days off” to get my
head around things turned into a few months.
Hello again. How have you been?
In 2017, I’d like to do things a little differently. Focus more on "what matters most” in my life, work and home. Once I work out what they are, which it’ll be a task in itself! Apart from family. But making it about the things I want to be doing and improving the skills I have seems more positive than focusing on stuff I don’t and intend to stop. Or trying a ton of new things.
Maybe spend some more time
outside, getting to know my local area and breathing the fresh air. This will mean less time online or sitting on
my arse watching the TV or reading my book.
There could also be a good spring clean and declutter. Donating the things we don’t use or love to someone who’ll use them. More space, less housework. I might have a bit of a blog tidy as well. A few posts no longer represent what I want Someplace Strange to be. On the other hand, I wrote them and published them so maybe I should just own them and get over myself.

I’d like to do more cooking this year. Which means I might get round to sharing more recipes. Note to self, remember take the photos before you eat the food! (Perhaps not any recipes then!)
So focusing more on the things that make life great … Trying to keep things simple and uncomplicated … Finding joy and fun in a world that seems pretty determined to depress me with its jaw dropping imbecility.
So, what plans do you have this year?
Sharing with some of the Linkys listed here. Once I know which ones are still running. 😊

Well done for getting back into the writing chair, it can be hard after a long break. I think focusing on the things you actually and that matter to you personally is a great goal for the year x

ReplyDeleteI'd like to post a few more recipes this year but like you I struggle to take pictures before eating all the food! #KCACOLS
I know! It's gone so quickly. I'm glad to know I'm not the only eat first blogger out there. Thank you for commenting
DeleteI think writing what you care about is always a good thing. Doing more of what you love makes absolute sense. I sometimes forget to take photos of my food too but I'm getting better! #KCACOLS
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad this isn't just me! Other times I do remember to take the photos and just think, nah!!!!!! That's not delicious looking at all. Thank you for the lovely comment
