I enjoyed all of this—odd, isn’t it? You’re a perfect stranger to me and yet I feel I’ve come to know you and thus enjoying hearing this accounting. I especially related to the hip and knee issues, since I replaced both in 2024 and have since dug myself out of the hole and will leave in two weeks for hiking in Patagonia. I say to myself every day, is this day better than the day before? Yes it is, I answer. And on I go.

Thanks Tom. Best wishes for the hip and knee, sounds like you have turned the corner anyway. The modern joint (especially hip) replacement is a true marvel of an operation, but it doesn't make recovery any easier. Hope you get the best out of them – 'well wear' as we we say over here!

I think that I may be facing this as well. You have given me a needed shot of courage.

12 days hiking in Patagonia is my reward and my motivation

This is wonderful Edward! Congrats on all you've accomplished (and for being bold to share the things you didn't and the not so great things that happened in 2024). You've inspired me to write up my own based on your questions. Thank you!!

Thanks so much for reading India. After I wrote it, I went for a short walk and realised it was quite negative, so I scurried home and added the dreamsetting section at the bottom 😅 Thanks again for reading and best wishes for next year! ❤️

This is an excellent idea. I loved the questions and may also use them for my own write up, or at some personal introspection.
