👋 Hello! I turned 46. Here's my annual review and re-introduction.

I've done these every year for the last 16 years, and use it as a time to update my book of beliefs, my life in weeks, and to come up with a new word for the year.

👋 Hello! I turned 46. Here's my annual review and re-introduction.

😱 Holy shitballs, I’m 46 years old! It’s been a year. Literally. Because that’s how birthdays work. But for the first time in a long time I took a weekend to myself and am staying in Calistoga and treating myself to mud baths, geothermally-heated pools, massages, walks through gardens, and some delicious food and beverage while I consider my past year and think about the one coming up.

Included in the annual review:

  • An updated life expectancy for myself (78.3 years old).

  • A couple new things added to my life in weeks (got divorced and got COVID, though neither went as poorly as I feared they might).

  • A list of the past 15 annual reviews, for context.

  • A review of the last year, and the mistake I made when I came up with last year’s word: reconstellation.

  • Three books that informed my new word for this year, by helping me understand something new about dignity, grief, love, and participating in today’s world.

  • Other statistics and bits and bobs.

If any of that sounds worth your while…

Have a read!

I hope you’re doing okay!

Hi Buster. I hope you are doing okay. Didn’t know about your personal update. None of my business but you’ve always seemed like a good guy.
