Another day, another reminder from Timehop of a post from bygone years. This was from 2015, the second – and final – time that I took part in National Blog Posting Month. As you can see, it is in itself an edited reworking of a piece I originally wrote in early 2013, about my sleep problems. There are links in the post to the earlier piece, if you want to see the full version.
As usual, I’m sharing this for the benefit of readers who weren’t with me in those previous years – i.e. most of you! The 2015 update makes what I believe to be an important point about ways of keeping our memories safe – as the years go by, those memories fade, and I am often surprised that what I had long held to be true of my past is erroneous. Nothing inherently wrong with that, I guess, but the pedant in me (I am a typical Virgoan, after all) likes to be right!
Enjoy your weekend 😊
Do you ever look back at a time in your life and think about how much has changed since then? I’m not sufficiently dedicated to keep a daily diary and since I’ve retired there would be a similarity in the entries anyway. To be honest, there are days when I have to check the paper just to see what day it is! However, having started this blog just over two years ago I have a number of pieces I can look back on and, for me at least, they make for an interesting comparison. For example, at the time I was ill with depression I also had major sleep problems, and I wrote about these in January 2013 in my post Sleepless In Epping. I had intended to reproduce it now, but it is quite a long post so instead I’m just giving you an extract:
For quite some…

I think you’re right, Diane. So many people have told me what works for them, and very little of that has been helpful for me! Hopefully you can find an answer to that – it used to affect me too but somehow it has gone away, thankfully 😊

Insomnia is absolutely awful Clive. I have been there too and thankfully it is now rarely an issue. I am so glad you are rid of it. 🌼
