The last year was not a good one for me personally. Health wise I am really feeling my age. My fitness, by my standards, is poor. I really felt largely tired and lethargic all year. I do honestly think my lack of fitness is seeping into my self esteem and mental health. Add to it a family heath scare and it was a tough year emotionally and physically.
It wasn't all bad. I did really make some big gains on my faith and relationship with God. I finished listening via podcast both the entire Bible and Catechism with commentary from Fr. Mike Schmitz. It was several hundred hours of learning and reflection about God's Word and how it is supposed to be practiced in today's world. Some things are hard for me to understand or agree with but knowing really helps me feel closer to my faith and more centered mentally.
And of course the big highlight of The Golden Knights winning the Stanley Cup. I have not been so invested in a sports team since I was a kid-if not ever.
Reflecting on the the victories and failings of 2023 does no good unless I can figure out a way to make 2024 better. I'm not quite sure all I am going to do yet, but I do plan to write here to help me improve myself. I think over the next few days I will document my goals and plans here. But for now I just needed to write.
The passage of time is hard. I wish I could go back and relive all those years and correct all the things that I know now that I am older and wiser. But that's not gonna happen. I just need to figure out a way to achieve all that I can in the time I have left.
Life is pretty short-but it should be long enough. If you just figure out how to make the most of it.
