2025 was a good year. We faced some challenges especially with my health. I broke my non-hospitalization streak by late July and had the misfortune of missing a step on the stairs. We spent most of the last quarter doing physiotherapy and exercise.
The fall was a blessing in disguise. It was painful, but it forced me to do physiotherapy. Exercise was light, but more movement means more stamina. It helped me care for our garden better and we managed to harvest some produce!
Aside from our usual home maintenance projects, our biggest project was to clear my childhood home. Oh boy, I really did not expect that Mom kept a lot of stuff in her cave-like cabinets! I had to go through each and every box organized by our decluttering coach.
The majority of the things were donated, stuff that were not useful anymore was thrown away, and some stuff were distributed among us siblings. I still have some stuff I need to pass to relatives. I am so glad we finished this project and don't have to worry about it anymore.
Here's 2025 in 3 minutes -
One thing that's still a work in progress is saving Mom's plants. We moved a big batch in mid-December and have started working on re-potting them. This project will continue until we finish what we can save from her plants. It's a lot of work and a good daily workout!
I like where I am now and have settled into retired life much better. I want to be more productive though, but to do that I have to be healthier. That's something we're working on together as a family. 2025 was a quiet year and that's the way I like it.
Have a blessed New Year everyone!
