Hello Loyal Subscribers and all who read “Grodence Paquado”.

At the time of writing this, 2025 is about to end in less than an hour, so this post will be relatively brief. We have made it through another year. If the past year has been great for you, then cherish it, and hopefully you will build upon, or keep the momentum of this past year going in 2026. If 2025 was tough and had periods of hardship and pain, that is OK. As an anonymous quote says “sometimes, making it through the year is an achievement in itself”. But I bet most people are like me, having periods of both joy and struggle. So that means we should take a moment to reflect on the past year, and set goals on how to make 2026 better.

It continues to be a pleasure to write stuff and post it for everyone to read. I probably have said this before, but I am proud of writing this blog, and it is always fun to see comments, or to just see that people have viewed my posts. I am looking forward to writing more insightful things in 2026.

Happy New Year.

Grodence Paquado.
