Is your life today what you pictured a year ago?
You’ve got to be kidding me, I wouldn’t have guessed my life would be like it is today a year ago.
I have managed to do three things in 2025 that I never imagined I could possibly do.
Learned to dance…..well do some moves that look pretty convincing and could be interpreted as dancing.
Written a book……well several now and I can’t flippin’ stop!
Learned to play piano properly……I know the difference between the black and white keys.
I’ve also built two websites from scratch and can use Canva Pro without chucking the laptop out of the window.
Why did I do all this in a year after being a vegetable for so long? The simple and stark truth is I stopped boozing. Quit alcohol, got on the wagon.
I’d been booze free for over a year before 2025. June 2023 actually. I think it took my brain a year to get the stuff out of my system. Then things started to happen, I got creative. Now I can’t stop. It’s not a replacement therapy, I’m past the craving stage, that’s a bad memory. It’s a genuine reawakening of the creative side of me.
I can’t rewind my life, but I can make up for lost time spent in an alcoholic haze.
I don’t go around preaching about it. In fact I don’t think I’ve really mentioned it properly before. I’ve just got down to living a better life again. Happy days! Literally!
2026? Not a clue, solve the mystery of the universe? Possibly—well, my universe anyway. I don’t make too many plans at 70, and perhaps that’s the secret. Live for today.
Wow! Nice… you’ve had a very productive and hopefully enjoyable year!
Thanks! Yes, life began at 70 online for me, I’ve always had a finger in computers since the internet was born , in one way or another. The joining of music, writing and computer science all joined up this year, as I realised the full potential of how they could work together!
So it’s wonderful that we can all reach out from wherever we are and touch the world.
Keep blogging!
