Hey this is a neat way to use your blog for your benefit and others! Being thoughtful and reflecting on the past is so good for mental health and happiness. I find myself and many others suffering their memories with regret rather than celebrating them for the part of us they are.
It was a great read and borrowed perspective. Happy New Year old friend!
I can testify that it is good for health and happiness. I didn't know when I started, but I found out after I finished.
I liked it the most when you called me "old friend". It's comforting when someone considers you that way.
Happy New Year, old friend!
