Happy 2021 my dear readers!

It is incredible how fast 2020 has passed and despite being a difficult year with lots of problems, we’re here ready for a new year.
What plans do you have for 2021? Usually this is the time when everyone starts to make their long list of resolutions.

Honestly, personally I never make any resolutions for the new year. However, this year I’ve decided to take it slowly with everything including work.
I’ve realised that in my current situation, no matter if I give 110% of me at work, because nothing changes…yes, the things are done but my stress level is high and nothing I get in exchange not even satisfaction.
So yes, I’ll work because I have to, but I’ll live more because I only have one life and I want to enjoy it.
No more schedules for me in 2021.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m a very organised person in everything I do, but my whole life I lived based on a quite strict schedule. At first was school, now office work and home work like dinner, dishes, laundry, ironing, cleaning the house, groceries, blogging…every evening there’s something to do…I start at 5:30am and finish around 10pm and I’m sleeping before hitting the pillow…and all these chores I schedule them every single day…
Nope, enough schedules for me.
I’ll go by “now I want to do this”, “today I feel like doing this”….
In 2021 I want to enjoy life, I want to take it slowly and remember my hobbies, I want to invest in me.
2021 is quality time as time is very precious.

Since baking is something that it relaxes me I’ve registered for a baking class and I cannot wait to start π©βπ³
No matter what are your resolutions for 2021, remember to take care of yourself! Remember you are important! Take it slowly and enjoy it!
Have a magical and happy year!
Welcome 2021
Exactly! Welcome 2021! Wish you a wonderful and happy 2021!
Thanks a lot ππ»ππ»ππ»
Have fun.
Thank you! I will βΊοΈπ€©

Thank you very much Megala! Wish you a wonderful and happy New Year too! π₯³
Loved your mantra ‘I want to invest in me’!!
Thank you! We deserve it π
Yessss!!
Taking it slowly. No plans whatsoever.
Thatβs the way πβΊοΈ Enjoy it my dear and have a wonderful and fulfilling year!
Fingers crossed. For all of us.
Happy New Year!
Thank you! Happy New Year π
That seems a very sound resolution to me. Just don’t stop blogging π X
Thank you Derrick! I will not! I may be taking it easy but Iβll keep blogging because blogging made me know wonderful friends like you π
Happy New Year Dear Ribana!!! π Best wishes for you! π
Happy New Year dear Mel! Thank you very much! Wish you a wonderful and happy year! ππ€
Definitely time to do what’s best for ourselves…
Exactly! Have a wonderful new year!
It’s been years since I made a list of resolutions. I no longer keep one.
I guess the best thing is to do what we want βΊοΈ Have a wonderful and happy new year Arlene!
Thatβs a great way to live! As someone who is retired, itβs a very easy approach to life, plus Iβve simplified my life on purpose. No meetings, I never HAVE to been anywhere unless itβs a hair appointment! Itβs so nice because I feel more in control, and donβt mind feeling somewhat selfish. I did my thing for my children and everything else that goes along with raising a family, and now Iβm a priority. Great post!
Thatβs wonderful! Thank you! Thatβs the best way to live and enjoy our life! Put us as a priority! Time will never come back, we must be very clear on that, and we must remember that we deserve a life too! Enjoying it and doing what we want when we want is the best thing we can do!
Have a wonderful and happy New Year π
Happy New Year. Happy New “Now I want to do this” Time. Happy New Cookery Class.
I have a similar outlook for the new year. The other day I was hanging wet laundry on the drying line in my basement, and realized that I was racing through the task for no apparent reason. I find myself doing that with other tasks as well. It’s a subconscious ‘hurry up, lots to do’ mentality I suppose. So I have decided that this year I am going to slow down. Even when doing the mundane things in life. Take it slowly. Enjoy the moment. Enjoy life. Happy new year to you!
Very true! I do the same with all the daily tasks…but then I realized that nothing happens if instead of cleaning the house today, Iβll do it tomorrow or after tomorrow…nothing happens if I donβt do the laundry today but Iβll do it tomorrow…work for now I cannot change but I can change the βafter workβ work π
Taking it easy and enjoying the moment is priceless! Have a wonderful and happy New Year too ππ₯³
such a great way to live! I wish you all the best for this new year!
Thank you very much! Wish you a wonderful and happy New Year ππ€©
I believe that when one feels like doing something, like a work task, they will do it better than if they are trying to fit it into a schedule. We need to rely on our instincts to follow our brain’s left or right strengths. Happy New Year my friend!
Sometimes trying to schedule everything and keep the schedule every day can be very tiring…We need to be organized but we also must allow ourselves the free of movement π So, Iβll just try to take it easy and allow myself to go day by day with whatever Iβm willing to do and not because βI haveβ to βΊοΈ
Have a wonderful and happy New Year dear Dorothy!
I definitely like the way you think!
Very Happy New Year to you Ribana!π
Meow,meow!=Me say so too!πΈπ»
Sounds great Ribana, it’s easy to get so scheduled that we just stress ourselves way too much and it’s just not worth it. We do need to enjoy ourselves too. Taking things more slowly is the best way to go and I think works out more profitably in the end. Have a great day Ribana!ππΊ
Thank you both of you! Wish you a wonderful and happy New Year too! π»π₯³
Thatβs very true Steve! Being tight into an everyday schedule can be very tiring. Iβll try to take it easy allowing myself to enjoy it more and do the things I like βΊοΈ
Wish you both a wonderful evening! Sorry for my absence these days…Iβll come back βΊοΈπ»
Thank you Ribana! Doing things we like is so very important. I always say people should have a hobby of some kind that they really like doing, it’s a great stress reliever!π
It’s a nice evening here. That’s okay, it’s a busy time of year!ππΈπ»
Oh yes! A hobby that we like to do is really a stress reliever! For example for me baking, reading and nature are all stress relievers βΊοΈ I just need to dedicate more time to them βΊοΈ
Enjoy the evening βΊοΈπ»
Those are great hobbies! All three are my hobbies too, though I don’t bake much now. I have added photography and hopefully this summer I can get out more to different places to get pics. I hope you had a nice relaxing weekend and ready to begin a new week full of great new things!ππΊπ»π
Thank you Steve! Are indeed great hobbies, I just need to find more time for them βΊοΈ Photography is wonderful too! Iβm struggling with it but sometimes I manage to take nice shots. Your photos are beautiful π»
Back to work and ready for a new week! Iβm positive and I hope positive things will happen βΊοΈπ
Have a wonderful week you two too! π»βΊοΈ
Great start to the new week! Always be positive. Even if something negative shows up, just look around, a positive is close by, that’s how things work! Like a battery. And the positive is always the greater of the two!ππΊ
Thanks Ribana, have a fantastic day!π
Meow,meow=And meowvelous day!π»

Happy New Year to you too! Wish you and Nisha a lovely year, full of accomplishments, happiness, health and of course love πππ₯°

Happy new year!
Thank you! Happy New Year π
May the new year be, abundantly blessed!
Letβs hope so! Happy New Year! π
Oh my god Ribby, I’m so excited for you and that class, although personally you’re a great cook as it is, but if it makes you happy, I feel happy. I hope you’ll learn a lot more that you already have.
On a side note, we’re once again on the opposite side of the stick. I’ve never been the schedule type of person. I struggle to stay focus on anything, especially those outside my interest, and time management is shitty so this year I’ve decided to discipline myself and become strict about schedule haha π
Good luck to us. And I hope you
Opps… the message got cut. I hope you have a wonderful year π
Thank you dear Jess! Iβm very excited too ππ This Sunday Iβll have the first class, I cannot wait βΊοΈπ I hope will reach my expectations βΊοΈπ
We have lots of things in common but also lots of differences π I guess thatβs the secret for a good friendship βΊοΈπ€
This year Iβll go your way with no schedules and youβll go with my way with lots of schedules ππ Letβs see what weβll accomplish until the end ππ Important is also to have fun and enjoy it π€π₯°
So true! π agree with you completely π
Yes, let get through this year having fun π€©
Dear friend hope your dreams are fulfilled in this 2021. π§ββοΈRelax and take care of yourself, stress is not worth it
for our mind and health. Glad to hear you like to attend the baking classes.
Wish you a blessed life throughout the year dear friend!! β€πΉ
