Here we are at the end of 2016.  It’s amazing how time flies and every year this time seems to sneak up on us.  They say it’s because time flies when you’re having fun – but I feel time also flies when you’re too busy to notice.  That’s the truth for me.  Don’t get me wrong – I have plenty of fun and life is good, but I don’t think I pause often enough.

Before ringing in 2017 with a list of resolutions I may end up breaking, I think for me it’s much more valuable to look back at 2016 and assess the year – to do a year in review.  I hope you will also pause and reflect on this past year.  These are the questions I am asking of myself.  I hope you find them to be valuable.

Bonbon’s 2016 Self Assessment

Don’t forget to be honest with yourself.  🙂

• What is something you planned on doing this year, but didn’t get to start?  Why not?  Will it happen in 2017?

• What is a project (home/personal/other) that you worked in, but didn’t complete? What stopped you? Will you try again?

• What is your best memory from 2016?  What is your worst?

• Did your views on anything change in 2016?  Do you feel more or less passionate about it?

• Did you make any new friends?  How/where?

• Have you drifted apart from any family members or friends? Is this a good thing?  Should you reach out to them?

• What are your wishes and hopes for 2016? 2019? 2026?

For me there were many ups and downs, but they just serve to motivate me going forward.  Here’s to a happy, healthy, prosperous and joyful 2017!
