2016 was not a very good year on my blog, mostly because there was so much going on at one point that I had to take a quite long break. 2017 has not been less busy, and I have struggled with posting as much as I would have liked. That being said this year has been marginally better in the stats. The things I miss when I am too busy is getting to read all your wonderful posts, an interacting with the wonderful people I have gotten to know in the blogosphere. As ever I hope that the next year will provide me with more of all the things I love about blogging.
I want to thank everyone that has visited my blog and taken the time to read, like, comment and share my posts. You are what makes blogging enjoyable. I want you all to know that I greatly appreciate all of you.
My most popular blog posts in 2017 was:
- Vilnius part 2: Food
- October
- Glad Mat Festival
- A Me Day
- Galway in Winter
- Easter in Ireland 2017: Walking in Dublin
- Saturday Chill
- Almost Christmas
- Update
- Wedding in Sauda
My blogging goals for next year is that I will manage to be more active in taking part in the blogging community and that I get to share some nice posts with you, that some of you hopefully will enjoy. I hope I get to visit your blogs and read the great contributions that you provide for me to read.
I wish you all a good blogging year in 2018!
Have a healthy and successful 2018, Maja โค๏ธ
Thank you Chris and the same to you!
Life has it’s own agenda so we must go with the flow. It’s always good to see you pop in and let us know how you are doing. Last year was not my best either. Maybe 2018 will be better all around. Happy New Year, Maja.
I have high hopes for 2018 both on the blog and off. All the best to you in the New Year Marlene. Always lovely to hear from you.
Just do what you feel like on the blog. Do not let it become work! Funny how the most “popular” blogs are not always the ones I think they should be!
I won’t let it become work. I use my blog as a de-stressing activity! You are right about the popularity, It’s always hard to predict!
Hope 2018 is a bit calmer for you. Happy New Tear and hope you had a great holiday. ๐
Thank you, I hope so too, but I don’t think so. I like to keep busy, but at times It’s just too much. Happy New Year to you. May it be a great one.

Hope you have a great new year in all aspects of your life.
Thank you very much Craig! And the same to you.

Thank you so much for your kind words. May 2018 be a great one for you.
Glad to hear things have picked up and you are enjoying the blog more. I want to be certain you keep that smile!!

Happy New Year, Maja! Letโs hope the Earth Dog Year brings good things for you! ๐Christine
Thank you Christine and may it bring all the best to you too.
Better days are coming! All we can do is try to get a little better at what we do. Godt nyttaar!
Godt nyttรฅr. Better days are always comming and 2018 will be good.
I’ve enjoyed your blog this year, following you around and getting to know your neighbourhood in Norway! Sometimes life just gets in the way and we have to go deal with it. Good luck with everything that’s going on and looking forward to seeing more on the blog from you next year. Best wishes for 2018 ๐
Thank you Mabel. Hope 2018 will bring many great things for you too. All the best wishes.
I agree with what others have said. Donโt be too hard on yourself. You have to make sure youโre looking after yourself and not pressuring yourself to publish posts. I wish you a happy, healthy and successful 2018 ๐
Thank you very much. I always try to look after myself, but It’s not always easy. I hope 2018 have many great things in store for you!
Have a great new year yourself – and I look forward to reading more on your blog

As I’ve said many times to myself, don’t allow your blog to become a stress monster or ever make you feel guilty. Keep blogging, fun. That’s what it’s all about.
Happy New Year to you.
That is what I’m trying to do Hugh ๐ May 2018 be a wonderful year for you.
Happy 2018 love!
Happy 2018 to you too!
One of the biggest problems for me is to stay active with the wide variety of blogs I follow – I like getting likes and comments from others, so it is important for me to do the same – here’s to an interactive 2018!
Hear, hear! I am trying to interact as best I can. But here is doing our best!
Nice to meet you! Thank you for liking one of my posts. If you had not done that then I probably would not have ever come across your blog. You have a lot to say and should feel proud in what you have accomplished already. You’ve inspired me today with this blog you wrote. I think this year is going to be amazing for you and I’m excited to read all about it. Best wishes to you.
Thank you very much for your kind words. I am glad you stopped by.
