They say that, as you get older, time feels as though it's flowing faster. The biological explanation for this is that your brain is slowing down, which means your perceptions of the world are slowing down. The world itself hasn't changed speed at all, but as your mind gets slower, the world around you seems to bumble along faster. 2025, for better or worse, went by quickly, and 2026 seems to be going by even faster: we're already at the bottom end of February. 2026: my stroke happened in 2021, five years ago. Half a decade.
And spring weather is here. The sun is shining outside, and it's a balmy 12.5ºC (54.5ºF). When I do my walk in mid-March, I doubt I'll need more than a windbreaker/rain coat. Meanwhile, Substack content-generation continues for the next day or so, then I'll be turning to other matters. The seasons turn; life goes on.
