The photo that completes my project this year and also a whole decade of 365!! I'm a little undecided about whether it's time to retire from 365 at the moment... I'm in the habit of taking a photo every day and I now have a little one which makes it easier to find something to photograph each day, but on the other hand, I feel like I just don't have enough time for anything anymore! I think I just need to carry on and try my best to stay up to date and leave a few comments when I can.
For those of you interested in how I did on other challenges, here's a little summary:
Walk 1000 Miles:
I walked my 1000th mile on 16th October and completed the year on 1152 miles, which I'm pretty pleased with given I walked all those miles with the little one!
1000 Hours Outside
I 'failed' this one but need to readjust my thinking; I didn't fail to spend 1000 hours outside but succeeded in spending a total of 884 hours outside this year. That's a lot of learning for Jasper and memories made.
And I also exceeded my reading goal of 40 books (then extended to 52) by reading 57 books this year.
For 2022 I'm attempting both 1000 challenges again. Hoping I can at least beat 884 hours next year if I don't reach 1000 and also not expecting to reach 1000 miles walked as I obviously have a toddler now so will be using the pushchair less as we go through the year and he will walk more alongside me. I'm starting the year intending to complete both but will see how we go and not worry about 'failing' either.
Congrats. You've done amazingly - the photos, the walking /outdoor challenges, the reading, all while bringing up mister. I aspire to your achievements 😊 (though I'm doing quite well with the daily photos!)
Thank you both for such kind comments! In the few minutes since uploading this photo, I've decided to stick with it! I kept my project going through the turmoil of becoming a mum and managed it last year despite having so little time so I'm going into year 11 and will do what I can and attempt to leave a few comments each day or each week!
Jackie you got my numbers a little mixed up I think, I smashed the walking challenge at 1152 miles, but fell short on the hours outside!
The is a lovely photo, Jaspers hair has really grown since the last time I saw him hatless.
I don't think I can say anything more or different to what Jackie said @30pics4jackiesdiamond, I think you have done amazingly well.
I don't have a little one to consume all my energy and the only challenge I succeeded in was my reading goal. The rest of my to do list remains pretty much the same a year later
I also hope you continue on here, I would miss your photos and watching Jasper grow
@kjarn Thank you for your kind words! Jasper's hair has really grown in the last few months, though it's very thin and sparse still (as was mine at that age!). I have decided this evening to keep going. I would miss 365 if I stopped after so long I'm sure... plus I feel like I've given up so much of pre-motherhood me already, I'm trying to hang on to this and hopefully will have chance to pick a proper camera when I don't have to push or carry Jasper around so much and 365 does inspire me and help me to pick up new photography skills (or at least it used to, haha!)

1000 hours outdoors ( the weather wasn't good!
Nearly 900 miles walked - my word you're fit, to do that whilst tired with Jasper!!
57 books, that's got to have been a challenge!
A decade of a photo a day that's truly impressive and awesome ( hardly ever use awesome as an adjective!)
Thank you for being an inspiration for the little time I've been on 365, you are truly amazing.
I hope you do stay, and can embrace any gaps in your calendar as testiment to your achieving your other goals.
Happy New Year 🎉
