know I don't believe in the nonsense that goes with New Year, so I won't say I've been preparing for that because I haven't. New Years always seems like an anticlimax and for those of us with rare medical conditions, the promise of a new year with change can seem hollow. It's basically same ***, different year and to pretend that life is going to be any different because it's January 1 is probably somewhat naive for us. But anyway, moving on...
I recently read another blogger's summary of her year ( thanks Heather) and I thought I might try something similar myself. Humour me. It's 12.37am and I'm wide awake. (Note to self - re read in morning).
New Year 2016 - New Year 2017
- Number of operations this year for me - 1 ( huge improvement)
- Biggest achievement this year - learning how to eat again after my gastric sleeve operation.
- Biggest event that messed with my head - 48 kg weight loss! Took a while to get used to.
- Event of the year - turning 50
- Disappointment of the year - my hair loss and Snape dying.
- Favourite holiday - Bali

- Happiest moment - a tie between Ashton's graduation and Ciara getting into her hard to get into course.
- Area I need to improve on - stamina for work.
- Area I improved on this year - days I managed to work.

- 2017 goals - attend not avoid all checkups, plan a 21st for Ciara, make a mandala and virus shawl in crochet, put the past behind me, avoid those who drain me, avoid those who use the phrase " think positive ", drink more good wine, pay it forward when I can, spend time with family, continue to advocate for CS.
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE
Thanks for being a crucial part of my life
Till next year...xxx
