This is the second post in 2025. I am actually amazed that I have gotten to this moment. There are two extremes in my life; the first one is when I am overly stressed and going through something incredibly difficult, I play World of Warcraft. The second one is when my life finds itself on hard ground to stand on, and I become much calmer. It is during the second one that I can think outside of my immediate needs (job, family, church, etc.). And it is during that portion of my life that I can write, play, and sing.
The years after the 2020 COVID scare, I have had a few months here and there that felt good. But most of it was a race against time to find some stability and make sure my family’s well-being is not under constant threat. 2019 felt like the last normal year.
So if you are reading this post, know that it is a beautiful day in a beautiful life.
A lot has happened even in this year that is probably reason enough to not ever have a positive outlook, but so much more goodness has been in my life as well. I just thought I would share that with anyone that might be struggling or going through a rough patch. Be encouraged and find your happy place, whether that’s Dun Morogh, or the Shire, or whatever else that makes you feel safe. If we live long enough, we will see the end of all things terrible.
See you in the next one!
