 How has your life changed in the last 5 years? 

Friends changed? Health changed? Priorities changed? Beliefs changed? 

No need to respond--just take a moment,  and mark it.

 I do this on a year to year basis lol 
 Definitely a good practice! Good also for kids' birthdays and wedding anniversaries, etc.

I picked 5 especially because of how clarifying they have been for most people (it seems). 
 Priorities definitely changed.  I was focusing on being self sufficient and preparing for bad times in America and likely the whole world.  I've changed to focusing on hopefully bringing as many people as possible into the kingdom of God and helping people to grow in their faith.  Prepping helped some with stress, but trusting God and doing what He has called me to do is a total stress reducer.  The world may be falling apart, but God's got this. 
 Had a couple major life changes during Lockdowns in 2020, was Agnostic while favoring Christian Ethics and Traditions. I finally found God during that time.

It was a weird position for me to be as an "Absurdist Christian" before the breakthrough.

That and finding Austrian Economics, while at my first job after graduating college. I'd been interested in Liberty and Justice, relating to Economics/Politics, as early as High School.

I lived the experience of only having done Geometry, at the time, and thinking "you can't spend more than you make, accounting is a thing"

Its been a wild couple years 
 That's good stuff, right there. 🤜🤛
