Sit back for just a moment and think...are you any different than you were a year ago? If so, hopefully it's only for the better. But, if not, hopefully something good will come from it.

To be honest, I don't think that I'm the same person, as I was a year ago. I've grown and learned a lot about so many things, especially about myself. If I think about it, I really do feel different than I did a year ago. Although I'm not sure if it's for the best or for the worst, I sure hope that I've changed for the best.

What a special question. I am sorry to say, since my retirement, i am double aging than before. Except during travel, which I did once or twice a year, I am staying home, doing home making, and recently mylotting. Not much outside activities, though walking an hour is miminum to keep a bit agitated.
I do not feel like joining the community club. The only stimulus is regular dinners with relatives and random afternoon tea with friends. Hope a couple of years of settlement will help me adapted to this kind of living.

I'm sorry to hear that you've declined since your retirement. Normally, it's supposed to make you younger. Just, make sure you get out and if not socialize with people get some fresh air. You need to keep your mind and body focused and in shape. Just, take care of yourself in general.

Of course,in my opinion,I think most of people should be different from themselves over a year to some extent.For example:feelings,characters,life goals and so on.As for me, i find myself maturer and good at thinking than usual.Perhaps it is the cicumstance and time that changed me .During a year of my life after graduated from school,work,relationship with other new colleagues and friends did made me happy or at a loss .But these things are normal for eveyone as the time goes on .I believe all the changes will benefit us,and we should learn from it.Do as the way,our lives will be better and better.

I am so different than I was a year ago, I can't even begin to explain it all! It has definitely been for the better though. This coming year will bring even more changes and I am so excited. I can't wait for it all!

a big YES! as in like a total changed , it is because of HIM.. hes the reasons why i changed a lot , because of my love to Jesus.. i can control my temper which i cant do that one before,, i can easy weigh things out, i am more matured now and no more hard headed thing, no more self desires, no more personal interest, what iam doing right is all the will of God, not my will! and i am already contented of what i have unlike before, i kept on aiming to have these and that.. in short i was so ambitious too much is not good.and above all i read bible now, and i am so happy with my life right now...

I've always been more mature for my age, due to having to grow up fast and seeing how cruel life can be. Over the last year, I've changed my ways, my additude and the way I look at life. We just had a few or well 11 months of rought times in our lives and things have finally settled to where we are back to normal, or as normal as we can be. LOL.
