A wild rolisz reappears

I haven't written a blog post in a long time. It's been a tough year. Mostly from a health perspective. One of the highlights was when I cracked four ribs from coughing (yes, the doctors were just as shocked as you are). Before that, I used to consider myself a fairly healthy person, if a bit overweight. Now I realize I've been pretty unhealthy for a long time, but I was just ignoring it. And, the time came when I had to pay the piper.

After a long period of time when I felt like I didn't have the energy for almost anything, let alone mildly creative endeavors such as writing a blog post, I'm finally starting to feel the itch to write again. To make things easier, I'm exploring using AI to transcribe my voice.

Honestly, I'm not even sure where to start writing. It's been a full year. Two kids, lots of interesting projects at work, including getting involved in startups for equity, lots of interesting lessons in spiritual life. I guess I'm learning to be more resilient, to not give up so easily. I'm learning to trust more in God. I'm learning to be more grateful, even for small things such as being able to breathe without it hurting really bad.

It was hard to accept any limitations that I have. I don't really have the energy to go on a hike. I can barely do sports. On bad days I can barely work. But despite all this, life still went forward. I don't know how, but somehow I managed to move to my house, after 6 years of construction. So I'm thankful to God for all his help that he provided during the last year. And I hope that I've learned to realign my priorities. To drop some of my own self-imposed expectations. And to be able to better listen to both to what signals my body is sending, but also to Jesus, so that I can abide in Him.

One thing that I definitely had a lot of last year was time to think. Time when I was barely able to do anything else. And I hope I'll be able to write up some of the things I've been thinking about.
