Ten Year Blog Review : Part One

I started this blog in 2013. I thought about what its contents would be for six months before putting on my first blog post in November. The following three pictures show what my themes have been for the first three months of any year.


 January : Music and Solitude

A continuing theme for January has been the piano and music concerts I took part in mostly through the years 2010 to 2018. They gave me a sense of achievement at the time and also encouraged my daughter and her friends to perform in public as well.




 February : romance and poetry

I sometimes talked about my old poetry group 'SubVerse' and our continuing quest to explore the 'poetry of surrender' in February. My interest in these matters lay rather dormant until I discovered Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness and finally Buddhism, which I have found to involve quite a bit of surrender; to uncomfortable feelings, the present moment and the emptiness and impermanence of life.



March : technology and games
 
I have talked about 'Duchess Doom' quite a bit in March and other months, it is a serialised short story on Wattpad, very much about technology and games.
