Where oh where has 2009 disappeared to?
In a few weeks it’ll be time to look back on the year, learn the lessons I can and then resolve to move on. It’s not something I’m looking forward to. Whilst I know that everything happens for a reason, and that God has a plan which He is working out in my life, and whilst I’ve grown and learnt a lot over the past twelve months, I don’t see how I can look back at MMIX and not be somewhat depressed by the hurt that it brought.
However. That’s for in a few weeks, not right now.
Meanwhile…it’s December! The temps are dropping like lead balloons, which isn’t so bad (you just wrap up warm) in comparison to the light. Or lack thereof. Sunrise at the moment is at 8:39 and sunset is at 16:15. This is nuts, and more importantly, it’s affecting me this year much more than I remember it affecting me in previous years. Getting to sleep is very tough and getting up at any decent time has become nigh on impossible. Let’s not even get started on the fatigue.
So somehow I have to re-jiggle everything to make sure I keep my momentum up. Not just in terms of weight loss (I’m now chasing onederland!) but also getting and keeping myself organised and on track with my work. I’ve no idea how to do this, but then I’ve got Google, some good friends and God on my side (well, ok, I’m not 100% sure of the latter, but I’m prepared to be optimistic at the least).
