2017 !!!

2017 !!!

Hi everyone

With 2017 fast approaching (don't know where this year went!!!) I thought it would be good to remember a few things to set myself up for the coming year. Hope others can put their ideas/goals on here too 🙂

My goals/plans for 2017 are:

  1. put our house on the market
  2. look for a new home/townhouse
  3. declutter our house with junk
  4. looking forward to my daughter moving out with her boyfriend and giving her some of our stuff
  5. looking forward in the next few weeks to hear if my son has passed his panel interview for a police career
  6. If my son gets in he will move into the Academy and come home on weekends
  7. see my youger son finish off his last year of Uni (Grad Dip in Bus Management, Accounting)
  8. spend summer down the beach with hubby and then plan little weekends away (when finances allow)
  9. Work on my mental health with my new psychologist
  10. Celebrate my oldest child daughgter 25th birthday next week
  11. Do more mindfulness colouring in when stressing
  12. Find a balance with work/family/lifestyle
  13. Knitting some baby beanies for charity

I feel that 2017 is a new life for me, a new year with lots of self care and love. I need to hold onto this belief and dream of my goals I would love to achieve.

The biggest one is the house but I know that we can do it now as we don't have mother in law live with us anymore. This will be a new start for all of us and I am excited yet anxious also.

I hope everyone here can write some goals/dreams/ideas of what you want for 2017. Lets hope that next year is a bigger and brighter year for us all with a more stable mental and physical health.

Thanks bluebay. It is inspiring reading your goals. I plan to do more of what makes me happy, my hobbies , stuff to enrich my soul. I plan to take up a fresh start, take some time out from work for soul searching and reconsider what I want to be. Who I want to be and what I want to do. Big plans for 2017

Re: 2017 !!!

Wow @BlueBay - what an exciting year you have planned ahead! So many positive changes and goals, much to look forward to!

Such a good idea for a thread, you have me thinking as I haven't planned that far ahead. But I would love to move house like you are, so in 2017 we will continue that search (have been looking for a suitable place to move to for two years now, so hopefully this will be our year!).

The rest of my hopes and dreams lye with my daughter's improvement in her mental health. Then that will improve my peace of mind. Perhaps I put too much empathise on that and not enough on my own personal goals.

I plan on exercising more and becoming physically fitter to cope better

Completing all my cross stitch projects

To do even more volunteer work

And to try and get out enjoy life more 😊

Thanks for the great thread.

Hi @Former-Member

I have lots planned for next year.

It is a great sign for me .. having a future and making it happen.

I am a bit like you @Former-Member

in that my plans and mh is a bit related to my adult child.. but I am working on setting him free and letting go ...

I think your daughter and my son are quite different personalities though ..

great thread @BlueBay
