2017 A Fantastic Year!

turkey_640On the one hand, I think that the New Year, the calendar count is just a number and we should not wait until January to reflect and make changes in our lives. On the other hand, I always find myself reflecting about the year past and year ahead this time of the year.7355AAC7-1534-423B-8238-D19043C1D114

Earlier this year I found this diary entry from a few years ago. Not written around the New Year but it contained a list of the things I wanted to do.  When I read the list I realised that most of the things I had written down had in fact come true; this realisation made me cry (out of joy!).

2017 has certainly been one of my best years. Great holidays with friends, running marathons, completing my first ever triathlon, finally taking 6 months sabbatical from work and finishing the Antarctic Ice Marathon were my key highlights.

The few things I think that I have learned this year are that I must try to do whatever I want now, instead of postponing, that my health is the most important wealth I have and that instead of complaining that I don’t have somethings I should make plans to realise my wishes. I mostly adhered to these rules which I belive made the 2017 a great year for me.

I celebrate the year by sharing some of my favourite photos from 2017. Grateful for the love and support I received from my family and friends. Sending you all big hugs from South America.
