Review of YOUR year...best & worst bits??

28 Dec 2007

Ive been watching various 'reviews of the year' on telly, and just wondered what were your best and worst bits.
One of my best bits was finally discovering I was sexy (and not the hideous blob that I had previously imagined myself to be) and having loads of people tell me how sexy I was.
Another good bit is my eldest son being promoted in the army cadets, and my daughter discovering the joys of basketball and being really good at it.
My worst bit was having my son diagnosed with dyspraxia, and realising that it was due to a part of his brain not forming properly....and wondering if it was something I did sad

That and my up and down battle with depression too :(
so what were yours?

As parent you cant help but blame yourself if something like this happens kiss

I have gone through it with my son (Mallock is his step father) wondering if I did something wrong while I was pregnant as he has Aspergers Syndrome.
Best bit would be being being in the black with the bank after being in the red for 3 years and being able to buy the kids the pressies I wanted to.
The worst would be struggling with our son's behaviour due to Aspergers.
Another highlight for me would be spending time in a recording studio with our daughter and now being able to listen to her sing in the car when ever I want to biggrin

My worst bit being concerns being raised about me not achieving what I should be on my uni course and becoming extremely sad and being referred for Cognitive Therapy.
The best bit being told I was good at something by someone high up in the rankings where I work who never dishes out compliments (didnt last long unfortunately). Also my boobies growing!!!! biggrin

My best bits of 2007 have been:
Having the courage to make a career change, getting on the course that enabled me to start my retraining for said career change, getting more on top of my debt mountain, making some fab new friends (both of the SH and non-SH variety,) fulfilling a couple of long-held fantasies
The worst bits:
Being in debt, not losing as much weight as I'd have like to, oh and failing my driving test and not sticking with it!
Hopefully 2008 will be a good one though - despite an evil cold I am feeling good!! wink

Try to remain positive about the situation with your son, Mrs. B - a lot more people than you might imagine have these problems and it is so easy to blame yourself.

Mrs BD

Worst parts
Mr NWC breaking his ankle (twice) and me then getting dragged into hospital for a major Op and both of us having to cope with daytime TV for 6 weeks. confused

Losing my lovely, beautiful, younger brother very suddenly while I was in hospital having my Op, and I still dont believe he is not here anymore. :cry:
Best things
Australia and seeing the hump back whales - a sight I will never forget.
University - firstly getting in, and then realising that Im not quite as 'thick' as I thought I was.
Mr NWC, but he is the best bit of any of my years (just dont tell him that I actually like him) wink

Not going to even look back at the worst bits of this year, far too many for one family to deal with at times. Hopefully next year will be a good one for all concerned.
Best bits was travelling on my own abroad for the first time to India and Australia and having a few adventures along the way.
Seeing great friends from SH and spending time with them and making some new ones along the way. Went to some great socials and munches.
Special thanks to Bristol Chat Room too, always cheer me up no end!

Been a mixed year.
Best
-------
- Getting new job. Start tomorrow.
- Giving speech in Vegas to 100+ people
- Travelling (Hong Kong, Malta, US, all over Europe)
Worst
-------
- Ending a relationship
- First stint as project manager (why do these people love meetings so much?)
- Trying to work exclusively in French and language skills being too rusty. That sucked.
So, um, yeah. Looking forward to 2008. Not sure about my plans...

This is a good thread to read but I personally find it difficult to add my own thoughts as to best and worst bits of the year!
I (mr srne), am a bit of a nomadic soul I reckon, I think of things not in terms of good or bad, just an experience of life. What's more important is how I dealt with it, whether it positive or negative and how much I can learn from said experience.
I puzzle myself at times as I can be so flippant about major things that happen to me, but get affected quite badly by things that happen to other people, even if I don't know them!
It makes me wonder whether I'm emotionally unattached from myself, I don't have self importance issues or low self esteem, I think Im just strange. :shock: confused
