I have decided to write to sum up every year. Here goes my 2023
In one word it was a year of struggle for me
From the starting there was one or the other problem with my health, mostly physical, sometimes mental. I took 2 big health breaks this year - thankfully coming out better from each of them but still having dealt with a lot.
The biggest thing I’m grateful for throughout this year, is support from my family. Everyone around me was so extremely caring, giving, loving and so selfless. Each time I had the right people around me to care for me, make me feel there’s nothing else in the world to worry about. I am also thankful for my work family - who handled a lot without me, and didn’t make me feel guilty.
This year had quite a few ups
- We got a car - our first one
- I travelled to Chikmaglur, Coorg, Waynad, Jawai band
- I grew a lot at work - learning the domain and managing people
- Meditation became a big part of me - Balance was a great app to have
- My belief in God increased a lot - esp after the near death experience
- Had a great year with books - completed my 12 book reading challenge and have a regular reading habit
- Also blessed to have super amazing plants all around my house
- My bestie got married ?
This year also had few misses
- Missed atleast 5 important events I might have attended if I was well
- Didn’t get to the outcome of quite a few things I’m working on… hopefully next year
- Wanted to level up in physical exercises - but body didn’t give a chance
- No international trip even after thinking about it a lot - esp on our 5th anniversary - I had always planned to go to Greece
It was the year I turned 30. A pretty big milestone to cross.
I think 2023 made me calmer, made me accept that life can’t go like you want it to. It will have its own plans, and you have to learn to be ok with it. With that acceptance I’ve become more patient and have increased empathy now, which is a great thing!
Looking forward to next year - to outcomes of all the struggle that has gone in, to some more happiness and travel and love and growth! <3
