I don't know why all my posts end up in list format, but yet they do and I am not going to fight it. Anuschka from Into Mind wrote a blog post "Your Year in Review" with fifty questions and I thought I would answer them here. I've split it up into three parts so here are the first twenty questions, I've tried to keep my responses short and sweet because lord knows I could have written paragraphs for each question.
one. My move to Germany will be the moment I tell my grandchildren about, I have had a lot of changes this year but moving to Germany on my own was one of the biggest risks I have taken and so far it has paid off.
two. Three words to describe 2014: exciting, exhausting and enlightening.
three. I discovered that I am in fact a morning person, and that I am not nearly as apathetic as I thought I was when it comes to my beliefs.
four. My greatest achievement has been motherhood, I feel like people have been surprised at how I have handled that...I'm not sure how I feel about that but I am proud of myself and little family.
five. The best news I received was getting approved for my visa here in Germany.
six. I've visited many beautiful cities this year but my favourite is still Münster, Germany. It is a gorgeous city and I could definitely see myself living there someday.
seven. My most helpful qualities this year aren't my most endearing, my vanity has allowed me to be in the best shape I have ever been and my stubbornness because it has allowed me to speak my mind and raise my son the way I want to.
eight. My sister and I have gotten closer since my pregnancy, she always has been my rock but it has been even clearer to me in the last year.
nine. I've learned how to maintain a schedule, rise early and go to bed before midnight.
ten. I am most thankful for my beautiful little Bean.
eleven. The book genre that best encompasses my 2014 would probably have to be one of the "finding-yourself" books, you know the ones where the protagonists current situation seems bleak therefore they must go on some big adventure to recapture their joie de vivre.
twelve. The most important lesson that I have learned this year is that perfection does not exist, yes I would like to "have it all" but there are only so many hours of the day and some of that time needs to be used to recharge.
thirteen. I have let go of the notion that things will never change, whether it's my habits or the world around me, I no longer believe anyone or anything is above change and that I should do my best to encourage my own growth and make an impact on the world.
fourteen. I can't choose five people that I have enjoyed spending time with this year, there have been many people who have helped me make this year memorable, I will leave it at that.
fifteen. No career breakthrough this year, seeing as all things career wise are on hold.
sixteen. My relationship with my family has evolved in the sense that I am now their peer, rather than just another one of the little cousins running around.
seventeen. I have read few books this year, I think the book "Bringing Up Bébé" by Pamela Druckerman really influenced me because it really put into words the way I feel about parenting, and it introduced me to a couple other new ideas that I wish to incorporate into mine and my son's life.
eighteen. My favourite compliment that I have received this year was that I look happy, no one has said that to me in a while.
nineteen. Some little things that I enjoy in my day-to-day life are smiles from Bean, his giggles and the moment I finally get to curl up into bed under my warm blankets.
twenty. I'm not sure what I have created this year, I guess I could say this blog has been cool but I am still not so good at it.
