The last day of the year. A day to say thank you to my readers! A day to reflect and look back, they say. I never do that. What has been has been. I do look back with good memories, fantastic vacations, visits to good museums, pleasant evenings with family and friends and things like that. But those are just beautiful memories. I do not do: what could we do different and better in the new year. We live our lives and I personally do not look forward at all. I’m just happy with every new day.
I just want to say Thank You!
So I’m not going to look back in this post today. What I do want to do is say thank you. I am so grateful for the fact that I blog and that I have so many nice, sweet readers. Blogging has given me back my self-assurance. And given me a passion. And although I blog in the first place because I just love doing it, the recognition I get from you is of course great and priceless! Thank you for your responses, help when I needed it, thank you for participating in The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book, which Shelbee and I enjoy so much to host. Just thank you for being there in this fabulous blogging world. I know it also can be very different. Well, I know that from hear say. The envie, the trolls. I never have experienced that! Because you, my readers, are all fantastic men and woman!
We celebrate New Year’s Eve together. Just the two of us! Gerben has to work and is only at home in the evening. So I make tasty tapas snacks and we crawl with the cats on the couch and at twelve o’clock we uncork the champagne! And we are thankful that we have each other!
I wish you all a very nice New Year’s Eve and a very Happy 2020.
I wish you all the very best for the New Year and I hope we all can go on blogging like we do! And perhaps have some bloggers meet up in 2020! Be happy!
Would really appreciate it if you would share my photos on Pinterest.
I would love it if you could follow me on Instagram!
What a lovely post Nancy and yes we should take one day at a time and try to savour it! Here’s to blogger meet ups, long summer evenings, happy holidays and tweed skirts. Happy New year!

What a lovely post, Nancy, and that photo of you is just gorgeous! Not sure if your cat loved posing – he/she looks like our Phoebe does when I’m trying to take a photograph witrh her 😉 Thank you for all your lovely posts, which I do enjoy reading, and thank you too for visiting my blog! Wishing you, Gerben and the cats a Happy New Year! xxx

A sweet post, Nancy <3 It's good to remember that looking back should only be to remember the wonderful things and not to beat ourselves up about the past. I love your beautiful sweater and your fur baby is gorgeous (though maybe not thrilled about being photographed – LOL! That look on his face)! My husband and I didn't even bother with the champagne. I was sick yesterday (and today apparently) and we usually don't make it to midnight unless we're at a party. I hope your 2020 is filled with all of the best things – health, happiness, friends, family, love and a lot of inspiration.

Happy New Year to you and yours Nancy! I am relatively new to fashion blogging, but reading your posts has helped me have courage. I love your honesty, authenticity, and your ability to laugh at yourself.

Nancy, I love your attitude towards life. You inspire me all the time! And that sounds like a wonderful way to ring in the new year. We spent the evening playing board games with the kids and watching movies and everyone was asleep by 10:30 p.m.! Wishing you all the best in 2020.

Haha, by that time the two of us were wondering if it would be strange to go to bad! Haha, we didn’t!
Such a beautiful read. You’re welcome dear. Happy New Year!
