But honestly, I've blinked and these 12 months have just flown by. How are we entering 2025 already?!
Before we enter 2025, let's do a round-up of the last 3 months:
Health
Physically, I've been pretty good! I went to my last CF clinic appointment of 2024 back in October, and my next appointment is at the beginning of January 2025. So, at least I can relax on that front!
Mentally, as I knew it would, it has not been brilliant. My health anxiety come back in its droves these last couple of months. As soon as Winter arrives, I really suffer from my anxiety and this Winter so far has been no different. However, since the start of December, it seems to have curtailed and I've coped with it a lot better than before. I would say this is good progress from my perspective!
Career/Blogging
I hope to bring you some big news around the first few months of 2025 from a blogging perspective! Back to the here and now, I've had a good bit of motivation for my blog for the last couple of months. The only disappointment I have is that I haven't written any Christmas-themed posts this December. I've written so many in the past, so I decided to update my previous ones and repost them instead.
Social
I've been having a few Christmas catch-ups with friends over either a hot chocolate, roast dinner or a road trip looking at Christmas lights. I shall also be seeing my family over Christmas, which I am really looking forward to. For those who know me, spending time with family and friends means everything to me, especially at Christmas.
Personal Development
I've started to think about my goals and manifestations for 2025 thanks to Manifestation Pulse's Vision Board Clip Art Book. I'm not going to share any until next year (for obvious reasons) but I'm excited to share some of them with you very soon! This has also been the perfect time to reflect on the last year. I've thought about the good and bad moments, where improvements can be made etc. A good reflection definitely helps me to be ready for the new year.
This is my summary of the last quarter of 2024!

I hope you've enjoyed this series this year!
I'm not sure if I will be doing this again next year, but you never know, I may make some room for it!
I can't believe how fast 2024 flew by either like, did we even blink?! But 2024's been such an awesome year for me! It's so nice to hear you're feeling motivated with blogging and making time for festive moments with loved ones. I'm excited to see what you've got planned for 2025! Wishing you a a fabulous start to the new year Lucy! <3

DeleteIt's great that you have these retrospectives every quarter, this really helps to keep you focused. Life can get pretty busy and things can goals can slip away. Good for you! Ugh 2025 not sure what to think of 2025
ReplyDeleteLife does get pretty busy and it's good to look back and reflect every now and then! It just allows us to keep track on what we've been up to!
DeleteReally enjoyed reading this! So cool that you do it quarterly what a nice way to look back and reflect. I usually do that at the end of the year but I like how you did it as a blog article what a cool idea! Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteI think reflecting back every quarter helps me to remember more of what has happened over the year and helps me see where I need to improve etc!
DeleteIt's crazy how quickly 2024 has gone! This quarter is always funny because it's a lot of reflecting and preparation while also rushing to get things closed before the year ends! Hope 2025 is good to you!
ReplyDelete2024 really has flown by, how are we on NYE?! The last part of the year always feels like a rush as there's so much going on for everyone! I hope 2025 is good for you also! x
Delete2024 really flew by, I can't believe it! This is such a great way to reflect back on the past few months and see how far you've come throughout the year. Thanks for sharing this update, I'm looking forward to reading more from you in 2025! I hope you have a happy and healthy new year! Wishing you all the best! 😊💓
ReplyDeleteThis year really has flown by! I'm looking forward to reading more of your music content in 2025 Melissa, wishing you a Happy New Year!
Delete2024 flew by so quickly! I swear, every year just goes by faster now.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to hear your mental health improved in December. Winter is always so tough with it being all gloomy and dark outside. I'm envious you managed to squeeze in some social catch ups this holidays; all my friends were too busy to meet up. If I remember, I would love to participate in Blogmas 2025.
Excited to see what you have in store for your blog in 2025! Happy new year!

Absolutely Annie, life gets so busy that we forget to sit back, pause and reflect on what's happened in our life recently x
DeleteRefection is a great thing to do on regular basis so, we could assess our progress and what we can do to make more progress,learn about ourselves and think of ways to work through our issues and problems. It's wonderful to see what you have done and who you become I love doing it even though It's mentaly tiring. Thank you for sharing It!

ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, it feels like it's come around so quickly! I hope 2025 is good for you also Caroline x
DeleteI've loved reading these little round ups. I think there's something so refreshing about taking a look back and seeing how far you've come. 2024 wasn't my best year despite having my daughter so I'm hoping 2025 is going to be the one.
ReplyDeleteI hope 2025 is a much better year for you Kelly, keeping everything crossed for you!
DeleteI'm looking forward to see where blogging takes you in 2025 Lucy!
