I know I'm not the only one to be what can best be described as a massive post-Christmas hangover. Whilst December is a dark month, I miss the decorations and the twinkle of the fairly lights. I miss the fact that nobody needs an excuse to get together with friends, and yes, I miss the abandon of not worrying about being "good" about what you are eating or drinking for a while.
Coupled with a lot of uncertainty about my job, the fact that Him Indoors is stressed about his, and the general demands of a hectic household, my current instinct is to hide away in a little hole until at least February. Whilst hibernation is appealing, however, it's not really a viable option. Instead, it seems I have two options - carry on feeling down, or try and pick myself up, dust myself off and start looking forwards again. So, whilst I'm not a great fan of New Year's Resolutions, I'm going to treat myself to a belated one this year - namely, to keep smiling.

ReplyDeleteI normally feel like that in the UK, I'm sure I suffer from SAD and it's due to the dark mornings and evenings and the cold weather.
ReplyDeleteJanuary is so different here and even though Christmas is over, Chinese New Year is this weekend, so more twinkling lights and celebrations and meeting up with friends.
That is a great resolution which I can imagine there will be days that it might be difficult to keep. As for January, it's my birthday month so not only is it after Christmas, it makes me a year older!!
ReplyDeletePerfect resolution..x
