Summarize 2018 in 3 words or more:
- How would you reflect back on 2018? Share with the community which words you will use to summarize 2018 in three words or more. Happy days are here again... since I have met the woman who is my girlfriend, I have been happier than I have been in a long time.
- How would you reflect back in 2018 how 7cups has helped you? I started out the year pretty depressed. LIfe had gotten pretty meaningless and I was searching on-line for help. I have gotten a lot of help from 7 Cups, a lot of people have said a lot of nice things that made me feel better.
2019 New Goals and Resolutions:
- What are some things that you want to change or do differently for yourself in 2019? The big change for me will be getting lots of sorely needed exercise. I started on this a few months ago, and I hope to ramp it up until I am in really good shape. Also need to see a number of doctors, I need to do something about my vision, and a physical problem has come up that should be easy to remedy. I am confident that the melanoma is gone and not returning, my dermatologist can verify that.
I plan to go camping in Yosemite for a week, I have a few days in Death Valley scheduled with lots of hiking, there will be lots of activity next year, all with GF.
@Offmytrack
That is great that you are having happy days again with your girlfriend. So glad to hear that 7cups has helped you and others are saying nice things to you and that you are feeling better.
Hope your health improves since seeing doctors is no fun. That is a great goal to do more exercise. Those vacations plans sound really fun.
2018 was crappy with family stuff. Also for about the last half of the year my health really never got to the level where I prefer it to be. It was nice to have some people supporting me here through that.
For 2019 I hope to get back to good day streaks. Lots of that is unrelated to choices I make, but I do hope that with some choices I make to manage my illnesses & luck I can get there again.
My garden also suffered last year because of other things taking priority. So I hope to have that as a focus again, as long as more important things don't interfere.
@versatileYard8117 Not sure what age range you fit into, but all are welcome to participate!
@AffyAvo
Sorry to hear about your family stuff and your health, hopefully things improve in the next year for those things. I agree having folks here on 7cups as a support system helps us a lot. Hope you do have more good day streaks. Hope you can make time for your garden since I know I enjoy stuff that we grow and we freeze a lot of stuff that we have year round which also save on cost since I am feeding a teenager still.
@AffyAvo I unfortunately do not fit into the age range, but I am nonetheless glad that you tagged me! :) I'll see if I have the time to participate because it sounds very worthwhile, so thank you again!
Also, I hope 2019 will bring you loads of good health days and gardening opportunities!!
@versatileYard8117 Thanks!
How would you reflect back on 2018? Share with the community which words you will use to summarize 2018 in three words or more.
Well, if I should use only three words, these words going to be "It was hard". This year was challenging and full of events, both happy and sad. And, to be honest, happy events ended in the first months. I faced with some old problems which I can not solve till now. I lost my job twice. I was near to lost my home. Even my hobby made me feel uneasy and guilty. All this had led me to depression, and now I am trying to overcome it.
How would you reflect back in 2018 how 7cups has helped you?
I am a newbie here, on 7cups, and registered only a few days ago. But even if I used this site for such a short time, I can see how it helps. I felt myself a little better after the very first day. Though I am not ready to return to my normal life yet, I had made some steps to it.
What are some things that you want to change or do differently for yourself in 2019?
In 2019 I want to try to be kinder to myself and do not force myself to do things that are above my possibilities. I want to learn how to say "no" if I do not want to do something or do not have time enough. And the most important thing. I want to learn how to say: "I do not want to continue this conversation anymore. Please, let us change the topic".
Since I am a newbie here, I have not friends on 7cups yet. So I can not tag anyone, sorry.
@XiaoQie
To start with welcome to 7cups and we are glad that you are here. There is a good group here in the 50 plus and you are welcome to join the 35+ things also. Sorry that your year was hard. Glad you did have some happy things going on thou. Losing a job is hard since I have been there before when companies downsize and lots of people are then looking for jobs all at once with a tight job market on those skills. Maybe you can find some new hobbies that make you happy in the next year. Here is a list of some ideas that might interest you.
Those sound like some great goals to have for the new year. You will meet folks fast on here.
