Hi friends! This is a different post from me. Last month the wonderful Marie wrote a post looking back on her year on her birthday. I thought that was a fun idea, so here my rendition of her fabulous post, on my birthday! Thanks Marie for the inspiration. ๐โบ๏ธ
So if you didn’t get it… today is my birthday and like I mentioned it would be fun to see my year in review.
I can’t believe another year has come and gone… where does the time go? As much as this past year has had it’s rough spots, it also had it’s good too!
๐Explored the Rec Room in both Toronto & Mississauga with my friends
๐Went to the Toronto Christmas Market with my mum, and bought some Christmas presents
๐Celebrated Christmas with my loved ones
๐Felt loved
๐I met one of the hockey players on my favourite team, The Toronto Maple Leafs (even though he doesn’t play for the Leafs any longer)
๐I tried something new and went to my first ever paint night event where I actually painted a decent portrait
๐I liked itย soย much that I went to paint night a second time with a group of my close friends
๐I fell in love
๐I lost my grand-father
๐I loved my job
๐I got my heart broken
๐Felt unloveable
๐Felt lonely and unwanted
๐I visited the Museum of Illusion in Toronto, which was a lot of fun
๐Went to different bookstores in Toronto
๐I flew by myself for the first time
๐I traveled through the UK, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Wales, Oxford, Liverpool, Manchester, and Brighton with one of my best friends
๐I saw the Spice Girls in London… I still can’t believe this actuallyย happened
๐I went to a Blue Jays game to celebrate Father’s Day
๐Went on a boat tour of the Toronto Islands
๐I saw Pink with my dad… a thing we’ve wanted to do for a good 10 years
๐I bought a Pooh Bear stuffy, he’s my therapy doll; he makes me feel better on crappy days
๐I went to the CNE with my brother for a 5th year in a row
๐I re-read the Twilight saga… what an experience
๐I went to a Toronto vs. Montreal hockey game… a bucket list item
๐Went pumpkin picking with my brother
๐I began to hate and resent my job
๐Felt depressed
๐Felt useless and worthless
๐Felt completely lost and unsure about the future
๐Saw my favourite band, The Maine, for the 5th time โค๏ธ
๐Hung out with my friends (maybe not as much as I wanted to, but still quite a bit)
๐Became the best grandma bowler, known as “Nonnameg” (which all my friends called me today, and changed our chat name to Nonna Meg Day ๐โค๏ธ)
๐I baked quite a bit
๐Felt appreciated
๐Read a ton of books… at this point I’m at 85 out of 90 for my Goodreads challenge
๐Blogged my butt off this year
๐Found one of my new favourite shows… ER
๐Proud… that I made it to another year of life
I’m going to leave it here, as I could probably keep going. ๐But as I sit and write this all out, I think I had a pretty good 25th year… here’s to 26!
Happy birthday! And here’s to a year full of happiness, health and lots of good reads :]
