I am not sure this is a skill but I would like to take my own advice. I would love to actually live my life according to my own standards. And the most important one is that I should stop looking outside of me for value. No community, no institution, and no person will ever give me value when I do not value myself. The impossible dream!

Or maybe play a musical instrument or be able to draw? Or maybe swimming?

How have I grown this year? I do not feel I have, There is, however, one thing which I realised that make a difference in my life.

There is no standard for growth. There is no abstraction against which my growth is measured. In fact, there are few standards against which I am measured. Or, to put it another way, there is no institutional answer for a personal question. The last virtue of a modern world is conformity – and the greatest sin. Looking for anything outside of me is going to disappoint. I stand alone before God.

Control what you have the power to control. And let the rest look after itself. Especially people – they make their own mistakes.

Do not worry what other people think or do – you do “you”! And do not let the “maybe” outcome stop you!

I have absolutely no idea. My life is one continuous unhealthy relationship without boundaries. So if you would like some insight, ask someone else!

At the moment (ROTFLOL), Restoration England. The restoration of the monarchy and, in 1662, the Book of Common Prayer. I am reading Samuel Pepys’ Diary. The life then would suit me. Not sure about the food.

Tomorrow it will be something different!

All things being equal, yes. But in reality, I have no certainty that there will be a tomorrow. If it does happen, it will be like the world was in the middle ages – lawless and isolated. (I actually have no clue!)

For me or the world generally?

Well, there is some sort of football competition happening. Not sure what it is!? But maybe that is notable for some.

I am thinking about the Prayer Book Crisis of 1928. Reading books, articles, and searching the internet. I am especially interested in “The Red Book Controversy”. So the notable thing for me is that I found some reading material on a topic that I am interested it.

Hmmm … I am not sure how to use this prompt. Maybe this way??

A cultural tradition is a way of living. There are cultural traditions (Amish or Old Believers) that value a simpler life. A simpler life, it must be said, before God. These traditions are alive – they are being lived now – and not some museum piece (or, in my case, something in a book). I would like that to be part of my cultural landscape. I would be able (hopefully) to plug into that tradition and make it part of my life.

Maybe I could start an Old Believer type of cultural that uses the Book of Common Prayer outside of the institutional church? And Anglican form of Priestless Old Believers!

While I am not sure people make this mistake often, one of the weirdest things about “my country” is left hand traffic. Visitors from other countries often go to the wrong door on the car when they first arrive. And sometimes freak out in traffice.

Winter, of course. I do not like the heat – it not only drains me but really emotionally brings me down. So I like the cold!
