Granny_Weatherwax Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 In recent years, I have shared a Year in Review thread. This year is a bit different. The prompts are more about self and less about the year. Some prompts are easy, others will require you to look inside yourself. The key is to be honest. I'm already a day behind but will try to post daily. Day 1 - Five things that make me happy Day 2- What I fear the most 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being cruel to my children. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WendyLady Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 1. Happiness: Dh home from a long deployment and the adjustment back has been surprisingly smooth and easy, calls from college daughters, that our son has been welcomed with open arms to a new high school and seems really happy, my sisters, starting school for the first time in 25+ years! 2. Fear: That one of my children will be hurt and I won’t be able to help 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthwestMom Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Day 1: Good conversations with my kids, walking in nature, snow, trying new things/going new places, and reading quality material. Day 2: I am afraid that two of my kids will remain socially isolated, for no reason I can identify. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaplank Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 1. When my teenagers open up and share their hearts with me, being out in nature, accidentally finding a new favorite author, that first sip of coffee in the morning, singing in a choir 2.

mlktwins Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Day 1 - Five things that make me happy Time with my boys (they are 14 and I have 3.5 years before college and they still want to hang out with me), taking pictures, watching Christmas Hallmark movies, coffee in the morning, and a good snowstorm where we are all stuck in the house for a couple of days (but only if we have electricity and lots of yummy food) Day 2- What I fear the most I have a lot of fears, but probably dying before my boys are adults is one of the biggest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jentrovert Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Day 1: I can't think of 5 things. There is one; the kids make me happy, quite often. I can think of 5 things that make me feel satisfied, along the lines of a tidy house and yard, school reasonably done. But, happy? Not really. Day 2: Dying before the kids are adults. Close, but not quite a fear, as it is inevitable, is my parents dying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elton John is my absolute favorite...I could (and have plenty of times) listen to him all day long. Truly, he is the best, love him! That's great. Stevie Wonder is my champion right now. His music makes me smile - anytime, anywhere. My dh 13 loves the music, too. Josh Groben is also good, but it's for the sad days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momto6inIN Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 5 things that make me happy: when oldest DS is home from college and all 6 kids are sleeping under my roof, hugging DH when he gets home from work, hearing the baby giggle, snuggling into bed with fresh clean sheets, buying new books and cracking the binding open What I fear the most: that I'm not doing enough to show the people in my life how much I love them 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin M Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 5 things that make me happy: My husband's laugh, my son's hugs, writing, beautiful sunsets, and books.

Denise Still in Florida Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 I have recently rejoined wtm forums. I used to be Denise in Florida but had to make a new name. 5 Happy things: 1) Listening to my children discuss the world and their plans. 2) My husbands retirement career path. 3) My cats (yes, I am now an old cat lady. 4) Fanfiction and any thing in the Marvel Universe. 5) The abundance of creative ideas that seem to swirl by. Fear the most: My children needing help and not being able to reach them or afford to help them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
