The 2017 100 Wrap-Up: 31 Successes.

Last updated on April 30th, 2021 at 04:56 pm

Several weeks, a few dozen photos and four thousand words later, we’ve finally made it—the Casey Palmer, Canadian Dad 2017 wrap-up, filled with stories aplenty of 365 days spent in my not-so-orthodox life.

After wrapping the year up on a quiet note (because two sick children under five will do that to you), I still felt it necessary to do this. These year-to-year changeovers offer a lot of perspective for me—with so much happening all the time, I often forget what I had for breakfast, so I write everything down. And if the height of the pile on my desk is any sign, 2017 was quite the year. But it’s also the time where I’m the most transparent, looking back objectively at everything I’ve done and celebrating successes, owning up to failures, hoping all the while that I’m somehow growing from the process.

But yeah—let’s do this as we did in 2016: look at the year in excruciating detail, figuring out what’s worth taking with me into 2018 versus what doesn’t feel part of my world anymore.

Ladies and gentlemen, let me present—the 31 things I did well in 2017! Let’s get it!

#100HappyDays—Day 3—Google Gloves

Once upon a time, I went to a Toronto Travel Massive event at the Google Canada headquarters, and at the end of the session, they gave away Expedia flip-flops and Google touchscreen gloves.

10 months later, and after having my fingers freeze outside a couple of times with not-as-awesome iGloves, I was happy to find these when searching for a wayward USB key 😊

I never did find the USB key, but at least I could play Ingress on my phone without my fingers trying to disown the rest of my body!

#100HappyDays Day 3/100!

We made it. Despite a 3-hour outage from my hosting provider, I managed to get this done. Thank you for joining me on the ride, and I’ll just leave this up here so I can go get my party on in these last few hours of the year. Enjoy the post!

Imagination is a powerful thing. It can make your senses pick up on things that don’t really exist. It can help you cope with a doldrum reality or convince yourself that a bad situation isn’t as horrible as you seem to think it is.

OR it can help you come up with a genuinely amazing idea.
