For the past years even in my adult hood age I didn't think about my future. All I did was having fun with my life. It didn't come into my mind how my life will flow. I never thought of building a family yet because I though it's not yet my time to build one. I was busy doing different things that made me enjoyed my life more.

There were times I was alone and no family and friends around me. It came to my mind how my life will go without having my own family. What if my friends have their own already. What if my siblings lives their own family. It felt so sad actually, I don't to grow old alone. That's why it came to my mind that this year I will make sure to think my future now. I will make sure that this year I will do different from previous year.

It's not because of the new year that we have to make something different but it showcases to look forward to doing something about it. Making something different is one way of improving and changing the pillar if we thought it was not good enough. We are the master of our own creativity and what expertise our ability in doing such thing.

My time for making a difference.

We all knew the story behind me and how my life was going through. And for short, I had been helping my entire family since then. There are no regrets since everything bears good fruit and the outcome exists positively. I don't wanna change it how the way it used to be? But lately, I realized that I am not getting younger. Day by day, I felt the difference between my life two decades ago compared to what I'm experiencing today. It's all about the capacity of doing my obligations, responsibilities, and commitment. It is already embarrassing that I renewed contract every two years for two decades but now my efforts in doing my work declined a lot. My mindset keep intact but my tendons, already sometimes refused.

I recently wrote a post for the naturalmedicine challenge which asked what my health goals for 2020 are. That post really ties in with this as I will be focusing more on my overall health and the first step is my sleep. It has improved a bit, I have of late managed to sleep for 8 hours, which Both my mind and my body are very very happy with.

There are other things that I will be focusing on today though. This may come as a surprise to some, especially as I live in a Truck. But I have never had a driving license. I have driven in the past, but always with just a learners permit. I managed to get away with that, both in Ireland and in Australia.

But now I am in a different place in my life, so I have decided that this is the year that I will finally get my license and a van in which I can travel easily with my tribe ( 3 kids and 2 large dogs). I lived in a van in Australia and that is where my love of being nomadic and living in tiny homes came about. When I moved to Ireland with my ex partner to birth our daughter, we focused on him getting his C license so that we could move into our bus.

This week's Ecotrain Question of the Week couldn't come at a better time for me. I felt I was a bit out of inspiration to write anything. That's not true actually. I have enough inspiration, but my mind is bubbling over and because of that none of my ideas come out in my blog. I call it my 'diversified' mind. It wants to do so much, and then nothing gets done. Or at least not all I want to do.

So what would I like to do differently this year? Let's find out!

Resolutely making no New Year's resolutions

There is a very good reason for this. I have never made any New Year's resolutions. Never...Ever.
Maybe it's my inner rebel that has always tried to go against the grain of everything 'normal' or 'common', or it's because I don't see the point. Maybe a bit of both. Whenever I hear people say: 'My New Year's resolutions are...' I feel like slapping them around the ears with their last year's resolutions, and remind them that they probably gave up on most of them before the month of January came to an end. I call 'Bah Humbug' on NY resolutions! Just like I am not the fondest of Christmas, I am quite the grinch when it comes to all those resolutions that pass by just before the 1st of January.
But I'm not just an evil dream zapper. No. There is a very good reason why I think the way I do.

TRANSFORMATION

Lighting up another spliff
Looking at the screen
wAITING FOR inspiration to hit

Another puff
Another drag
Letting the smoke in
Was I feeling sad?

Herbal smoke has been my vice
Holding on and hiding out
Does this really help my life?
