End of a Decade

If you were to ask me what has changed in the last ten years, I know my immediate response would be "not much", but that is because it's all too easy to dismiss the small changes and milestones which have transpired. I might choose to mention that I haven't traveled abroad since 2010, rather than recalling my three visits to the west coast. I certainly wouldn't consider the confidence I've gained, instead insisting that I don't have nearly enough, nor would I reflect on all the hard work and devotion I've given to this blog, dismissing it because it's not where 'it could be'.

That however, is no way to start a new decade, or a new year for that matter. While this might be an easy time to think of shortcomings, wouldn't it be better to focus on everything that has changed, grown, or improved, even slightly, and try to polish off memories so that they shine in a positive light?

If there is one resolution I need to follow through with in 2020, it is to believe that I am enough.

    I think that's an amazing resolution to have - and I really hope you realize it, truly!

    I really can't think of a better resolution than the one you've come up with. I am, admittedly, ending the year in a cold medicine-induced haze and really didn't realise what all the fuss was about until late yesterdays, so I haven't given a lot of thought to the past ten years and what I've achieved (or what I wish I'd achieved.) But what I do know is that this marks about ten years that we've been writing blog comments back and forth and it is truly amazing how far we've come since those early days. But what's more amazing is that we've kept at it, despite not always experiencing the big successes we would hope for. I never imagined I would do anything consistently for ten years - and yet, here we are, so cheers to that, and Happy New Year!

    That's the perfect resolution going into a new decade. We so often forget about the small changes that eventually add up to something big. I hope you have a wonderful New Year's Eve and let's make 2020 the best year yet!

    Yep, same here! So much good has happened this decade even if it feels like much has stayed the same. I have definitely got more confident too and braver than I thought I would be (flying alone would NEVER have been an option for past Megan, haha)
    Here's to an even better decade ahead!

    What fun pants! :) I know so much has happened in 2019, it was a massive year for us with lot of our hard work paid off, with achieving things at work for us both, the new house being built, moving in, the Europe trip...and of course over the decade things like adopting our dog, weddings, our kids being born..but other than that it's hard to think of a whole decade and see what has changed - I think it's just too big for my brain to comprehend, haha! It's easier to see the changes year to year! :)

    Hope that you have a happy new year and 2020 is off to a great start! :)

    Beautiful set, in my fave print.
    Like you, I feel like everything is the same. Like I have not moved or done the things I should have, whatever those were supposed to be.
    A big hug and best wishes on the new year and my dear Lydia you are more than enough.
