The year has once again passed extremely fast, a lot has happened, but once again it feels like everything is still the same as it was. Sometimes it feels like 2024 was just a short while ago. Maybe that is a good thing. What we did clearly notice this year is that the kids grew up a lot, both of them. Both kids are moving into the future on their own paths and they are clearly taking a different approach to life. They are both very smart, prudent and they both know they have a solid foundation at home they can depend on. The perfect environment to start exploring their world.

There was a real personal milestone for me in 2025. I turned 50 this year! A nice moment to look back, and I was happy that for me, looking back, was an overall positive experience. I started to increase the value I invest in myself. Going out with the guys, getting the latest tech, enjoying my hobbies. I now regulary bake a cake with the kids, I cook with creativity and [pleasure|beer], I take care of our hamsters and my coffee plant, I play with Lego’s again, and I allowed myself to spend a nice amount on IT related toys. Taking care of my body by being active and by keeping up my vitamin C habit. Looking forward also gave me a positive feeling, so all good.

2026 is next! My own objectives were simple. Enjoy myself a bit more. I actually managed to do just that, so for me last year was a win. Next year? I want to publish another mobile app which I want to build together with an AI, I am still thinking about a ‘maridaje‘, and for the rest I will see what unfolds.
