Some people would call it a ‘Bucket list’, but I will stick with checklist at this moment in time. Here is a list of experiences and achievements that I set for myself at the beginning of 2022. Now there is no way I will achieve everything here, but throughout the year and indeed at the end of my 40th revolution around the Sun, I will come back here and check off any experiences or achievements that I have been successful at. A living record if you like of progress through my return to the outside world from the comfort of my hibernation.
Since 2021 I’ve been at this a couple of years now, and so when the end of the year looms into focus, I take stock and see what i’ve achieved in the past year and see were my wants and wishes take me throughout the next. For all that I achieved during 2021, then refining that throughout 2022 & 2023, 2024 was by far my most iconic year since starting this journey. – 2025.. you’ve a lot to live up to!
