I found this on the interwebs and thought it would be a fun thing to do with everyone starting tomorrow! Everyone is welcome to join and journal in this thread, if interested. If not, I guess I’ll be the only one on here. 
Winter is the time for rest and to reflect on the past year. 
Also, moderators are free to merge this thread with any preexisting one, if applicable. 
I’ll join. I’ve started journalling, but am finding daily is way too much for me..I’m more of an as and when type gal. But that’s absolutely fine. I like the idea of these prompts!
Three achievements this year:
Medically: I’m finally settled into a HRT treatment /pattern that seems to have balanced my hormones a lot and I’m impressed at my own resilience to fight for this over the last 18 months+. It’s hard to get here sometimes and I fought to get what I wanted and I showed up for myself. This is not the only medical advocacy I gifted myself this year, but a very major one.
Housing association wars: After two years of fighting my HA regarding a major soilage leak into my bathroom I finally have a redone ensuite with new lino, new lights, new extractor fan, new ceilings and freshly painted! I also got about £1300 compensation on top of all of the works being done free of charge. Remarkable considering how sly and measly these people are! I just never gave in, even when the road seemed endless and too steep.
Fitness: I’m fitter than ever at 45. It’s been a beautiful and difficult journey. Getting up most days at 5.30am and walking dark streets to get to classes because I don’t drive. It’s a love letter to myself that I’m still writing, and I don’t intend to stop.
Thanks @spgand28 for the thread. 
I like the idea of this! I’ll join! 
I love the prompts too because otherwise I’m never really sure what to journal about. 
I have a shadow work journal as well which are prompted but I read that it’s not supposed to be a daily thing.
I’ll have to get to my prompts tonight but two of mine are very similar to yours. I’m happy for you! You have put yourself first this year. 
I saw what today’s journal post is about, and I’m already struggling to think of 3 things…. 
But I’ll think of something before the day ends! 
Nice idea!
Cute idea! Ive never been a HUGE journaller bcuz I never knew what to write about! This might be a great way to get some journalling time in. Ill do my best to join in also!

3 things I accomplished so far this year

And those with negative energies got the

December 2
I want to continue making reading regularly a part of my life, either in English for pleasure or in Japanese for study.
Day 1.
A) Stayed sober all year, celebrated 20 years alcohol free this year.
B) Had my first Did Not Finish in a triathlon - that failure taught me so much about my training, my headspace, my reaction to adrenalin. A month later, due to injury, I have started lifting heavy and stuck with it so far.
C) Not an accomplishment, but a reward of sobriety - went on 10 days tour in Romania with my spouse. No acrimony, no fights, plenty of optimism for our future.
Day 2 is super easy - I’m retiring on February 28. I am a little anxious about the money situation, but I have my history in sobriety to lean on - when I got sober I had no idea how that would look, and it has turned out great! Same thing with retirement - I have plans but they are always guided by the Unseen Hand and I have to remain adaptable to changes.
2nd Dec.
One thing that I am really looking forward to continuing into next year is my ongoing fitness journey. It’s improved lots of other areas of my life greatly. Like gradual, safe and healthy weight loss, strengthening my core, preparing my body to ward off old age, the complete eradication of back pain and I can now easily manage way more strenuous and lengthy hikes and climbs in nature (which is so important to me). This is a way of life and I can’t wait to see what new options and challenges and classes I might embark on next year. Just when you think you plateau, you just need to rip it all down and start again. I love that flux and the opportunity to overhaul your body. It feels like self care and radical love for yourself.
I love this! A fun way to build the habit as well. Thank you for sharing @spgand28 
December 1st… 3 Achievements this year
December 2… One thing I am looking forward to continue into next year
I look forward to enjoying my first full year sober and therefore continue focusing on music and yoga.
I absolutely love this!
So here’s my reflection/ post on day 2:
I hope that I will continue to work on my path of sobriety the next year, and continue living this relative calm and peaceful life Im living now (stable job that I like, my mom being healthy and relatively fit, a roof over my head, kitties healthy and a fridge stocked with food!

1 thing I look forward to continuing next year is focusing on my weight loss journey. Right now, my goal is 5lb a month. Ive been on track since October 2025 but I look forward to seeing where my health journey takes me in 2026 
Dec 2. My commitment to full sobriety and how my difficulties relate to my maturation process. What is maturing also? And how do I define this without falling back onto stereotypes? I want to open up, which has a bewildered, youthful, passionate side, a loving freeness to it, but also how do I mature in my confidence, my taking care of affairs, my emotional processing.
Very good thread.
Dec 2nd,
Okay, well if the Lord wants me to be a strong hunter, I will. I’ll continue fly fishing and doing my outdoors stuff. Do want to get even better at making food on the open fire.
Just putting all that together.
From the field to to the table.
