Is your life today what you pictured a year ago? – An interesting question from the daily writing prompt.

Apart from trying to recover fully from this nasty flu bug my life is how I could have pictured it a year ago. A beautiful new granddaughter entered our lives this year. The family is healthy and surviving some troubled times.

Some friendships have changed a bit. Some up and some down. Time will do that. I’ve greatly enjoyed working on my hobbies and I need to do a lot more in that regard. I’ve enjoyed taking rides to where the car points its nose, instead of destinations for work or chores.

I feel like I’ve done a fair job regarding my health by keeping my weight in check, exercising a little more and trying to eat better. That last one still needs a lot of work.

I am surprised how quickly age is affecting my body. Been dealing with a lot more pain this year than previous ones. But hey, I’m getting up, able to love, think and pursue good times.

I had no idea our government was going to break down is such a dramatic fashion though and while I had fears of it, it’s worse than I thought and getting deeper into the darkness day by day. I will fight to change this. I didn’t anticipate spending so much time on this, but it’s now for my children and grandchildren not to leave pieces of crap like our current administration in power.
