Its a new year. 2026. Some people are looking back and reflecting on the past and other people are looking forward and making goals for the future. Some may be doing both. I think I am doing a fair amount of both. I’m an extremely reflective person when it comes to the past. My past, the past of other people. I think i can learn from the past. I think we can learn from mistakes. I find myself wondering about the lives of others, marriages that fell apart, kids who went astray, family members and their addictions, relationships with people. Was there a cause? Was there a set “thing” that led to the end result. Was it a combination of “things”? I think of the song “slow fade” and its so true with so many things. Often we dont even see the fade happening, often its years of small things that build up to create a startling end result. For my “new year” I am starting this blog. I have NO IDEA what I’m doing. Learning as I go. Ive always loved to write so I’m putting my love to use here. I hope you will join me for this 2026 journey as we look forward but also as we look back and learn from reflecting on the past.
