I haven't been very active on the blog this year. Actually, if you check the latest posts, I think that my new year resolutions post comes third and clearly, you can see that "being more consistent with my blog" was not quite one of them.
Overall though I have been good enough at sticking to my resolutions even if adding more sport to my routine has been complicated and I have to admit that I did not really stick to this one. I kept on attending Krav Maga sessions but that's where it stopped really.
Shortly after I posted my Resolutions article, my workload went up and up as I added some free-lance work to my already busy time table and I found it hard to even write on the blog. Sometimes my dream is to have 36-hour days...
Like I said, I think that I have been pretty good with my other resolutions especially with the one about travelling. This year, I have added Denmark, Poland, Scotland and Switzerland to my list, and I have visited the West Coast and the North of Ireland and a place in France that I really wanted to see: Oradour-sur-Glane (if you like history, you should Google it. It's fascinating). I have really enjoyed all of these trips and I have already planned new ones (including THE biggie) for next year and I might talk about them here some day. My mom's collection of touristic fridge magnets has kept growing and my dad even said "the door is so heavy it's going to fall apart if she continues".
There was one thing that I had not planned though: I moved to Spain! In February, a brilliant job opportunity came up and I just had to go for it. So here I am now, back to the roots!

2017 has been very intense and full of changes in my life, in every single aspect of it. Some were great, some not so much but there is one other resolution I have endeavoured to stick to: keep on being positive and counting my blessings.
How was your 2017?

Je n'ai pas été très active sur le blog cette année. D'ailleurs, si vous regardez l'historique des articles, un des derniers est mon article sur mes bonnes résolutions pour 2017. Et clairement, vous pouvez voir que "me faire plus présente sur le blog" n'en faisait malheureusement pas partie.
Dans l'ensemble, je pense avoir été plutôt bonne élève même si faire plus de sport a clairement été la résolution que j'ai eu le plus de mal à tenir. J'ai continué d'aller au Krav Maga mais je n'ai rien ajouté de plus car c'était un peu compliqué.
Peu après avoir posté mon article, j'ai commencé à faire un boulot en free-lance très chronophage et je me suis retrouvée avec peu de temps pour le reste, y compris le blog. Mon rêve parfois, ce serait d'avoir des journées de 36 heures...
Comme je l'ai dit, en ce qui concerne les autres résolutions, je me suis plutôt bien débrouillée surtout en ce qui concerne les voyages. Cette année, j'ai ajouté le Danemark, la Pologne, l'Ecosse et la Suisse à ma liste, et j'ai visité la côte ouest et le nord de l'Irlande, ainsi qu'un endroit de la France que j'ai toujours voulu visiter: Oradour-sur-Glane (si vous aimez l'histoire, je vous conseille d'y jeter un oeil. C'est fascinant). Bref j'ai beaucoup apprécié ces voyages et j'en ai déjà planifié de nouveaux pour cette année (y compris LE voyage dont j'ai toujours rêvé). Qui sait, peut-être que je vous en parlerai par ici! La collection de magnets touristiques de ma mère commence à prendre pas mal de place sur la porte du frigo et mon père m'a dit qu'"elle est tellement lourde qu'elle va se détacher si ça continue."
Il y a une chose que je n'avais pas prévu en revanche: j'ai déménagé en Espagne! En février, j'ai eu une offre de boulot vraiment cool et je ne pouvais juste pas dire non. Donc me voilà , de retour aux sources!
2017 a été vraiment riche en changements pour moi dans chaque aspect de ma vie. Certains de ces changements on été super, d'autres un peu moins mais il y a une résolution à laquelle je me suis toujours tenue: rester positive et reconnaissante.
Et vous? Comment était votre 2017?

DeleteYouve visited some great places this year. I love that jumper you are wearing
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteSounds like you have had an interesting year this year has been difficult for me but I’m working hard to make next year better x
ReplyDeleteI hope you will have the best if 2018.
DeleteIt's great that you have traveled so much this year. For me, 2017 brought a lot of trips as well, many more than I would have imagined. I hope 2018 is going to be the same.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely!
DeleteFor me 2017 has been a great year and other than losing weight I have met most of my 2017 resolutions. Congrats on the new job and move x
ReplyDeleteWell done for meeting most your resolutions!
Delete2017 hasn't been the best year for my family and I, we've had a lot of stress and worry with bad health but hoping 2018 is kinder to us all. I love your photos!
ReplyDeleteI really hope that you will have a great year to make it up.
Delete2017 has been a crazy year for me with lots of ups and downs but ultimately very good, and lots of exciting plans for 2018. Glad you got to travel lots - some fantastic destinations there!
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll follow your plan this year!

Thank you so much.
DeleteWow, you've managed to travel a lot this year! Well done on increasing your freelance work
ReplyDeleteThe thing with blogging is that you can have periods of time where you can post lots, then when you can't find a spare minute in the day to even think about it! You've clearly had a busy yet successful year, and the blog will always be there when you can spare time x
ReplyDeleteThat's true. It's not the best when it comes to consistency and for the readers but it is what it is!
DeleteGosh! Moving to Spain, how wonderful. It is great that you got to travel to places you wanted to; the blog posts will come when you have the time and we will look forward to reading what you have to say then.
ReplyDeleteI mean I probably wouldn't have stuck to a resolution about sport either, so don't worry about that one ;) great that you've done so much travelling though! As a travel blogger, I'm a fan of this resolution ;) x
ReplyDeleteAhah they're always the tricky ones aren't they?
DeleteWe've been a bit hit and miss too on the blog where life has got in the way - but life is for living and it sounds like you have seen a lot more of the world. The blog can wait xx
ReplyDeleteReal life has to come first.
DeleteOoh! It sounds like you've had such an exciting year! I've done a fair bit of travel this year too (and my first ever solo trip!). In 2018 I'd love to relocate to another country as well (although I still don't really know where!) xxx
ReplyDeleteNice, where did you go?
DeleteWhen we make resolutions we cannot predict what’s to come so can’t blame us for not sticking to them sometimes
ReplyDeleteTrue. I try to pick things that I'm pretty sure I'll do (apart from exercising more ahah)
Deleteoh my gosh that skirt is everything! I love a round up, you've inspired me to do my own for 2017! x
ReplyDeleteThat's great!
Delete2017 has been a year full of opportunities for us and we have grabbed them with both hands!!
ReplyDeleteYou go girl!
DeleteSuper post .Lijepo pises ;)
