Twenty-three and me
Based on my kitchen calendar, today marks the end of another year. And in keeping with traditions this is a moment to reflect upon what has changed in that time. I stayed pretty close to home. Some limited travel within this country involving the new RV. I met some new people from other places in my own kitchen. We had no major weather incidents which keeps the stress level lower. If I were to set the table there will be people missing from the circle. A normal part of life actually. This is also the year that our dog crossed that magical bridge to who knows where. Not something I reflect on often. I believe that the financial situation remains very stable in part because I no longer need to go to stores and spend money. I have replaced printed books with videos and audio feeds. Not always satisfactory but I am still learning. And as it comes down to accounting I have learned other things so the year has not been awash. In terms of health I am among the fortunate. In terms of wealth and wisdom I am content. The biggest change around the yard was the removal of our beds. Vegetable beds. And, I do not really miss them a lot. You can always get vegetables at the local market. The same daily tasks that I had in place one year ago continue. I study and I talk to the screen and I listen to music. Not always the same songs. Based on those few parameters life is good and I look forward to seeing what is waiting in 24. Beyond just getting older. If anything, I would welcome more visitors especially from my family so if you see them let them know. We have been doing supper snacks this evening. Comfort foods rather than a large meal. I think that comes with age. I will, of course, consult with others should the occasion arise.
