Happy New Year 2022

Happy New Year 2022

Well what can we say…WHAT A YEAR!!! I can imagine so many of us here will be happy to see the back of this year!

It certainly has been a year of ups and downs - and struggles but also rewards. We have had to deal with our own lives as well as the impact of restrictions, ever changing times and all the highs and lows going along with those. The one constant for many of us has been right here on the forums - so in keeping with our usual support of each other - no matter whether you celebrate the end of the year and look forward to bringing in a brand new year or not - join us all here today/tonight to say goodbye to 2021 and welcome in the new year with (hopefully) some fun, laughs, stories, conversation, music, photos (whatever you feel like contributing.

I will start - So often we get stuck on all the negative things so in the spirit of renewal and growth – what is a positive you can take from this year and move forward into the new year with?

For me it is the amazing friendships and support I have right here on the forums

Lovely to hear from those who tagged me and others it was nice to see here. @Shaz51 @Judi9877 @frog @Appleblossom @Faith-and-Hope @Zoe7 @TAB @HenryX @MDT @Bunniekins @Sophia1 @BlueBay

Hope the year is off to a promising start. A quote I read in the last few days sometime : "You don't need to make declarations or big resolutions, just set some sweet intentions and take each day as it comes". I like it.

Didn't end up being here as I had thought I might, but reached a couple of long-term goals irl over the last few days. Went for a local walk by myself, drove by myself to the beach and around the coast road home, drove by myself to tai chi and to visit a friend for a cuppa. These achievements are huge for me as I've been unable to go out without support for 5 years.

Have some training courses and an Acceptance and Commitment course and another few days of writing residency coming up so plenty to be prepared for.

I might not get here but many people from the forums are often in my thoughts.

Take care and stay kind everyone.

Well Done @eth you are an inspiration

Re: Happy New Year 2022

That is massive @eth - so well done Hon

Re: Happy New Year 2022

Good on you @eth on reaching those goals!

I like that quote too: "You don't need to make declarations or big resolutions, just set some sweet intentions and take each day as it comes". I saw an article today about making a list of things you resolve to say no to, which is an interesting take. It was partly humour, but there was also a message about boundaries and not overcommitting.

I am very interested in Acceptance Commitment Therapy and would love to hear how your course goes.

Re: Happy New Year 2022

Wow @eth this is amaaaaaazing!!!!! I hope you continue with your good recovery! You are a very strong person. I hope you enjoyed your tai chi lesson and your long drive at the beach! I hope your excursion was relaxing for you, it's good that you're choosing to be brave. Keep on keepin' on, as they say.
