Alan Morris´ Journal Entries 2023.
These are the journal entries for Alan Morris for the year 2023. These were written to help me with my lousy memory so that I can look back at the year 2023 and remember what I did, the places I went and the people I met.
In 2023, I had some sad times when I lost a few friends and members of my family when they passed away, but I also had great times to balance those out. I was lucky enough to attend many musical events, fiestas, shows, and travel. I visited three different continents when I went to Africa, South America and Europe on various cruises. I went to five countries and many different cities. I saw many fantastic things, crossed off a few things from my bucket list and made many new friends.
The year overall was a good one where the good outweighed the bad and it gave me the courage to continue travelling and enjoying the world and all it can show me.
This week was a quiet one for me, I read a lot, worked on my family tree, saw a few friends & went out for dinner on Sunday.

I seemed to spend the first part of this week waiting for deliveries or for people who were coming to my apartment for some reason & at the end of the week I travelled to Murcia to see one of my favourite groups, Simply Red, in concert.

This week I decided that after a few weeks of starting to swim a bit more, I would try to step up the distance I was swimming & to try to go swimming every morning. I will note down how far I manage to swim each day from now on.
