Like... The infamous "cold snap" discussion, this week between Christmas and New Year's, I would suggest that the majority of people have the week off, so they could hide in the house, spend some time outside sparingly (it is cold), generally relax...
I'll be working in a cold industrial shop from Tuesday through to Saturday, no chance to relax... And New Year's Eve looks to be dreadful and bitterly cold, how to even enjoy it?
Then probably all of January (I work in recycling) we'll be working tons of overtime just to catch up, I'll hardly have time to even live my own life, barely even pick up my camera, barely enough time to enjoy myself... I don't see much positive in any of that...
Yet... I've been reading lately about how to be thankful about my life, about even the small things, doesn't have to be big things, yet I tend to often/always dwell on the glass being half empty... Yet the glass is also half full, just depends on how I look at it...
Tomorrow morning? It's still snowing outside, about -25, brrrr, just getting to work will be a pain in the butt, and I hope my car starts in the morning, the block heater is plugged in, and the shop will be very cold for an 8 hour shift... On the positive, thinking hard, a New Year's banquet at church in the evening, should be a good feed, good company, my girlfriend will be joining me for the banquet which will be good company...
The next morning? Work at 8 AM, supposed to be more snow again, still very cold, but must force myself to find more positive things to dwell on, and yes I do live in the land of winter so I should expect days like this...
And I'm officially rambling now, headed to bed now because I know I need to... Good night!
