End of Year Questions
This isn't stolen from anywhere in particular, but it is a questionnaire I have tried to answer each year... maybe it originated with Sunday Stealing; I don't know. But maybe you'd like to look back in 2018 as well.
What did you do last year that you had not done before? Gee, can't think of a thing.
Did you keep your New Year's Resolutions/goals for the year and will you make/set more for next year? What are they? What are your new ones? I don't make resolutions so none of these questions applies.
Did anyone you know give birth? Yes. Or become pregnant? Yes. Or adopt? No.
Did anyone you know die? Yes. Or have a serious illness/injury? Yes to both, unfortunately.
What places have you visited? We didn't travel much at all in 2018. Went to the beach once.
Any new pets? Lost a pet? No new pets and none lost.
What would you like to have next year that you lacked this year (doesn't have to be a physical thing i.e. love, job security, peace of mind...)? The stamina to travel some and walk more than 3 blocks... both of us.
What date from last year will remain etched in your memory and why? Our step-grandson committed suicide. Enough said.
What was your biggest achievement last year? Getting a part-time job, I guess.
Did you get sick or injured? I had a HORRID cold that lasted nearly three months, January -March.
What was the best thing you bought? We didn't buy much. Groceries! LOL
Where did most of your disposable income go (money left over after you pay for food, medical care, basic clothing, transportation, and shelter)? No disposable income which is why I am back to work.
What song will always remind you of last year? Doesn't have to be a song released last year. I've said before that music isn't that big in my life. I have no idea how to answer this one.
What do you wish you would have done more of? Beach time.
What do you wish you would have done less of? We should watch less TV.
What was your favorite new TV program? Movie? Album/Songs? Or if you didn't pick up any new ones, what are you still watching/listening to? Any recommendations? We watch several series on AcornTV, Britbox, Netflix, and Amazon. I think we went to the movies once or twice but don't remember what we saw.
What was the best book you read this year? How many did you read? I haven't read any really good books this year. Lots of not-so-good ones that aren't worth mentioning and I don't keep track. I get freebies for my Kindle. Some are good and some I dump after the first chapter.
What did you do on your birthday and how old were you? Did you feel differently? We did nothing different for my birthday this year. I turned 67 on December 11th. I don't feel different from last year.
What political or social issue stirred you the most? Let's just don't go there!
Who was the most interesting new person you met? One of our friends here in Mas Verde is a retired mortician. He has some stories.
What changed at your job? I went from being retired to working part-time.
What changed in your home? No changes at home.
Describe how a relationship changed. No relationship changes either.
Do you think you are still the same person that you were at the beginning of the year? How so? Yep. The only change was in our church but that hasn't changed the person I am or always have been.
Summarize the year in three words or less. Bonus points for doing it in one word. Explain. Good. We are happy. Life is good!
How have people around you changed? None that I have noticed!
What have you learned throughout the year? (Other than crafts) I'm learning a new job. Does that count?
What was your favorite outfit for warm weather? Cooler weather? I live in Florida. Flip flops and capris in warm weather and canvas shoes with slacks in cooler weather.
Did you learn any new crafts or techniques? What was your favorite thing you made? Nope. Nothing new and nothing made.
What changed about your physical appearance? (Hair? Wrinkles? New makeup style? Etc) Yawn... all the same. No changes.
What are your hopes and dreams for the new year? (Some suggestions-family, travel, work, lifestyle, hobbies, pets, appearance) To get Joe's heart fixed and then perhaps one of my knees replaced.
Did you keep your New Year's Resolutions/goals for the year and will you make/set more for next year? What are they? What are your new ones? I don't make resolutions so none of these questions applies.

Thanks to Bev Sykes for this week's questions. You can find Sunday Stealing HERE to join in.
Thanks for your visit! Peace & hugs! God bless!!
We didn't go to the beach as often as we usually do this year either.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
Wishing you a wonderful Florida Sunday :)
ReplyDeleteTerri, if you're looking for a good read, I'm showing no shame and will tout my own novels - LOL! You can find them here: www.gladetrilogy.wix.com/theglade
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
I do have three of your books, Martha Jane, and two of Victor's. Your books are so well written and you can tout them with pride!!
DeleteMerry Christmas, Terri!
ReplyDeleteYep, that's exactly why I'm looking for a part-time job. I'm entirely too fond of eating out, plus it would be fun to have a cache of 'mad money.'
ReplyDeleteI'm SO with you on the freebie books; in fact, I've decided to treat myself and buy one book each month by an author I enjoy. Life's too short! Happy Sunday to you and Joe!
Wishing you both a very Merry Christmas Terri. smiles
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, Terri! Praying that 2019 will be a year of good health and many happy, sunny days! I wonder what disposable income looks like? We dispose of our income very rapidly...on house, food, gas, essentials. Hubby talks about a part time job, but I really don't think I am "mentally" up to the challenge again. I'm proud of you for going for it. It actually is good for your brain, so they say!! Take care dear friend. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a blessed Christmas filled with Joy Hope and Peace.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I see I share many of your values, from your side bars. I clicked on Follow but it says I don't have permission to follow this blog. Is it private?
ReplyDeleteI stole it from you, too.
