Had some good things happen this year. Got to travel. Some not so good things also happened.
Looking forward to 2024. Not everything will be great or even good but there will be oppurtunities to make a positive impact on myself and on those who matter.

I heard something about the show earlier while I was driving and as I was prep’ing for dinner just started to look it up. As I was doing so, I found another movie, Living, that I have been wanting to watch again.
As I added Living to my watchlist, I put this to play. I had very little idea of what exactly to expect. Earlier what I recall from having heard on the radio was that it was a documentary on people in different parts where they were living much longer and more vibrant lives. How can you pass on learning more . . . .
The show begins with the disclaimer that it is for entertainment and, I forget exactly the term they used but it was in the line of, “informative” only. Anyone making any serious life choices should be talking / discussing with the health care specialist before making any decisions. That to me was a good sign. A very good sign indeed.
Needless to say, I watched all the episodes in a single stretch. It is very well made indeed.
But I wonder . . . . . is the goal to live a long and vibrant life? How long we live is not really something that we control. But let’s say we were able to control how long we live – would we want to live to be 200? Maybe. But I feel if we were to live to be 200, “living” would take on a completely different idea.

If you’ve been on social media, this may have happened to you or someone you know. This is not new. I have never really felt like talking, i.e., writing, about this in the past. But I am “writing” today mostly to document how I am responding to learning about this happening to one of my friends this morning.
Not quite immediately, but I did update my password, which I should be doing more frequently anyway. But I did notice the notification I got that my password was updated. And in that notice, email, I did notice a button to cick if I had not made the update / change. This is something that I had seen many other times but this made me think – when my friends’ account(s) were compromised they may also have had gotten similar notice(s) but probably got ignored 😦

Yeap, it happened yet again – I was driving and on the radio I heard the following program / show “Finding Happiness“.
The very first chance I got, I searched for the program on my phone. Found it and made a “note” of it.

A Super Blue Moon is expected today at around 8:35pm.

Earlier this morning while driving I was listening to KUT / NPR like I usually do and Hidden Brain was playing. The Best Years of Your Life was the particular episode that was playing and it really caught my attention.
For once it was being discussed as a natural progression, even a desired one. And not one to be dreaded.
