A year later, I'm hoping that everyone here is experiencing a better time than last year. Many of us probably feel no better, maybe even worse, but if you're reading this, then you're obviously still hanging in there and that's something. For some reason I like 2025 just sounds like a better number, so I'm hoping that it will be more pleasurable in various ways. At 57, I'm still learning things about myself and will hopefully improve myself; physically and mentally. I keep trying to convince myself that if I keep hanging in there that I will achieve some level of ecstasy eventually, but it does get harder to believe that as each year passes. Best wishes to everyone.
