Melaka tomorrow…!
2022 has been a strange year. A year of highs and lows, transition and stagnation, introspection / soul-searching, an emotional roller coaster of a year.
There was some tension at the dinner table tonight during New Year’s Eve dinner between the Boy and his dad. …
A quick review of Little Buddy’s life experiences so far, at the end of 2015, after ~28 months of life: …
So, 2014 is clearly a less exciting year than 2013, which is tough year to beat – getting married, giving birth, living in NYC etc.
But with the Boy’s help – because he really does think of putting everything down, whereas to me, my highlights were only ‘added new countries’ and ‘started a new job’ – I have a halfway decent list of “highlights”, albeit some pretty lame ones.
So I think 2011 has shaped up to be a pretty slow year in terms of achievements
I was struggling to come up with “achievements” of the year, so the Boy actually helped me with coming up with a lot of the below. He thinks I’m too harsh on myself (and him) and am inclined to diminish my achievements as well as his. Perhaps so.
I was looking for blow-out, exciting things that I’ve done which stand out to my mind (almost nothing does to me), but I guess in my own little, almost unconscious way, I’ve done a lot of pretty interesting stuff, which might have been exciting when I was younger, but now seems less impressive to me… which is probably me being overly blasé.
The Boy had planned and organised a richly packed and highly detailed weekend for 24-25 January to French and Spanish Basque country.
