2025 is ending, just a few more hours and it will be over. I’ve written in a previous post about my 2025, so I won’t repeat it here.

As with any new year, 2026 brings with it unlimited possibilities, it’s mine to make the most of it. A whole year, 12 months, 365 days, 8760 hours, 525,600 minutes, 31,536,000 seconds. What to do, what to do.

I have my New Years Resolutions, but this year I want more. I don’t know what more is, I’ll have to think about it.

As I get older, I am becoming more aware of the passage of time and each year that passes means I have one less. I don’t know how much time I have left, I do know that I want to make the most of it.

I’m sorry, this is becoming a sad post. Let’s see where it goes.

My life can be divided into segments, school, marriage, work, kids and now retirement. The first four were easy to define, the last, retirement, is proving harder for me to figure out. I’ve talked to other people and they all have different ideas about it. And that’s the beauty and the hell of it, I can do whatever I want. I just have to figure out what I want.

So the past few years I’ve been trying different things, I worked at a bike shop, I traveled around the country, I moved to be closer to my family and other things. None of them have really felt right to me.

This year I’m going to try a bunch of different things. I’m going to apply for a job as an engineer in Cambridge, volunteer for the Red Cross Disaster Relief (continue this one), start doing jigsaw puzzles and a whole lot of other stuff that I haven’t even thought about yet. 2026 might be the year I figure it out, but if not there’s still 2027 and 2028 and…

Happy New. May all your wishes and dreams come true and may you find your own path to peace and happiness.
