Gratitude from a busy boi
Do you ever have those periods during the year where you are doing absolutely nothing? Like, you have no commitments, no responsibilities or anything and you are just spending your days doing whatever comes your way? Me too. Do you ever have those periods afterwards where suddenly you are doing a hundred and one things, and you are barely keeping your head above water? Me too. That, ladies, and gentlemen, I feel is going to be my life for the next month or so. I am out of the “honeymoon” period doing nothing and right now I have a lot on my plate. Welcome to Monday, by the way.
Do you know what the crazy thing is? This has happened before. Two summers in a row in fact. I am talking about this past summer and last year. The first summer, I made the mistake of saying yes to anything that came my way. I had just come out of a job and had a lot of time on my hands. I said yes to a lot and paid the price for it. I didn’t have a moment to breath. That was last summer. This past summer, the same opportunities came up and I said yes again. Thankfully, I was able to catch myself this time and I had to change my plans around.
As the year has gone on, I have been trying to occupy my time again. It’s been a tough one. A year of loss, unemployment, and a life crisis of some description. You will hear all about it in January. I am looking forward to reminiscing. Things haven’t been all bad at all. There have been a lot of positives. Recently I have been pretty content with how things are going, hence the saying of yes. I have a very occupied month ahead of me. I won’t go into too much detail but just know that this blog is going to help me get through it. This is the first thing I do on a Monday, and I am grateful to have it.
My calendar is looking jam-packed at the moment. I woke up late this morning. I have a lot of things to work on today. I am grateful that this is at least time to breathe and let you all know, in some way, what is going on.
I am a busy boi. I am grateful to be. I want to remember that. I keep mentioning gratitude and it reminds me about Thanksgiving. I don’t celebrate it, but I do recall things that I am grateful for in my journals every day. It does help to keep me grounded. I would recommend it.
That’s enough moaning about my busy schedule that gives me a reason to get up in the morning. Thank you for reading. I am grateful to anyone who reads this. From a tired and busy boi: thank you. Thank you for reading and thank you for your time.
