Daily writing prompt
Is your life today what you pictured a year ago?

My life is the same. I live in the same apartment I’ve lived in for four years. My habits are the same. I cook the same meals. Nothing seems like it changed.

And yet …

I have changed. I’m a year older. I’m growing in my faith, one day at a time. My understanding has evolved. What I knew a year ago has taken on new dimensions of understanding.

My health has changed. I’m using a walker now. Not ideal, but as they say, I’m not getting any younger. Thankfully, I’m not taking any new medications. I still take a fistful of medications, mostly supplements and one prescription twice a day.

My friendships have changed. One friendship lost, but in recovery. As I meet new people in the building, there’s the opportunity for new friendships.

Last year, I looked forward to publishing two books this year. This year, I wrote a new one instead.

Some things stay the same, while some move forward with the ebb and flow of life and time. Time doesn’t stand still, and neither do I.

What is your life like today versus last year? Let me know in the comments. The image belongs to me. Thanks for reading.
