Then as the Rookes departed and to finish festivities off – I popped over to Edinburgh to see one of my best mates Colin before meeting the girls the next day to catch Wicked at the Playhouse. It was great catching up with Colin properly and we all loved the show.
All in all in was an epic and lovely festive season, full of everything it should be – wonderful, happy memories!
But since then the weather has turned cold, the days have seemed extra dark and I’ve been battling my mind to find some joy and motivation. Most definitely early January blues. Internally focussed, I’ve listened to lots of podcasts and meditated/yoga’d my way into 2024. I’ve tried to get out running, on the bike and for walks. We’ve met up with friends to enjoy the crisp fresh air, including a trip to Stirling Castle. Little by little I’ve crawled my way back to work and into life. And as the nights start to get shorter, I’ve begun to find my place in the world again. I can’t say it’s been an easy few weeks but I have much to be grateful for. And whilst I’m glad that the rollercoaster of 2023 is behind me, looking forward I also see plenty of change coming down the tracks this year as well. So I should buckle up and ride the waves, not try to swim against the flow. Deep breath….here we go 2024!
