I suppose I shouldn’t call these ‘Weekly Thoughts’ anymore but rather ‘Monthly Thoughts’…. Seeing as I haven’t been writing often enough.
We’re a month and a week into 2025. Nearly halfway to the Vernal Equinox. The days are getting shorter. This year will go faster than last year: it has one day less.
I could add thoughts around Trump’s dramatic and immediate stop to the US Aid program. How many people will stop getting help of one form or another, plus the number of people who suddenly lost their jobs because they work for some or other direct or funded Aid project.
I could add thoughts about the Chinese entering the AI game with DeepSeek and the resultant Magnificent Seven value loss / repricing. Depending on how one views this.
I could talk about the Sona of last night. I’ve often wondered about the title… ‘State Of The Nation’. If the title, why not talk to exactly what the title says.
But I’ll leave those topics.
Make it a year of getting your medicals done correctly. Reduce your sugar and processed food intake and walk up and down a hill every second day. I am seeing the consequences of the lack of these practises.
Take one day at a time. Make the decisions you make that day be the right ones. Tomorrow will take care of itself and yesterday you can do nothing about.
Take steps to reduce and eliminate the things that cause you stress. Get your life simpler. You will feel better for it.
