Currently listening to: My Tears Ricochet

We gather here, we line up, weepin’ in a sunlit room
And if I’m on fire, you’ll be made of ashes too
Even on my worst day, did I deserve, babe
All the hell you gave me?
‘Cause I loved you, I swear I loved you
‘Til my dying day

ian m dudley is sharing night photos as open prompts. I thought I would partake in this.

It’s only been a couple of weeks since the holidays ended, but it already feel like a distant memory. So much has happened in such a short time…

Part of me wishes I’d left my Christmas tree up a little longer. It was not just aesthetically pleasing to see, it just brought up memories of previous Christmases, when times were happier. These days, after work, I can barely muster the energy to hang my jacket up properly. It lays draped over the kitchen chair until I pick it up again the following morning.

There’s a lot I want to accomplish this year. I wonder if I’ll actually manage all of it. I’m trying to be hopeful, but am feeling wistful at the same time. Go figure…

    Hugs always, Rojie. This is part of life. Maybe you need a cat to hang up your jacket.🤩 Promise, having a cat is a blessing.

            My ex once said the exact same words to me, we move in different worlds, because I wasn’t as sophisticated as he was.

    My view is you have to budget for the things you want to achieve. If you don’t plan it out, make a commitment to do it, Life will make sure it falls to the wayside.

    I’m still struggling with this aspect of it. There are things I want to do, for me, but most nights, I’m just too exhausted after getting home to do it.

    To get it done, I have to force myself. Most nights, honestly, I just don’t have the energy. But some nights (and weekends), I do.

    I try to hold onto those periods. And little by little, far slower than I’d like, I get there.

    Loving Rojie’s haunting take on “My Tears Ricochet”—those lyrics hit hard, especially with your post-holiday blues. Totally get that Christmas tree nostalgia; it’s tough shaking off the slump when life’s piling on. Hang in there, you’ve got this year’s goals in the bag. Wishing you brighter days ahead!

    I think you need to work out. That makes me feel a lot better. I need to join a health fitness club too. I would feel a lot better too. It is just an idea. If you already work out, maybe you need some good r n r. I hope you accomplish everything on your list this year.

    Darn, that’s awful 😖 yes maybe rest, you are probably worn out from life. Hopefully it isn’t your anemia. Just an idea up your iron, like spinach and iron pills, just a suggestion. It could be the weather. It is probably cold where you are. Wait until like March or April your energy level will go back up.
