My favorite time of the year is here! Another year has come and gone and now we can reflect! I love this time of year to reflect because I can look back at my favorite memories and more importantly, my accomplishments. I say more importantly because it’s so hard for me to see the good in things when I haven’t reached certain goals yet. That thought has crossed my mind a lot this year. I can still be proud of how far I’ve come, look forward to exciting things in the future and be grateful for what I have now. Always be grateful.
As always, I found these reflection questions from Pinterest. The link is below! I have used this template of questions for years now! This is literally perfect, because it’s straight forward questions but it can cover everything from the year without rambling. And just like last year, I’ve added a bonus question of my favorite Lincoln sayings, because some of the stuff he says makes me laugh and I never want to forget!
