Year End Blues For as long as I can think back, the last month of the year always was 'reconciliation' month. I would sort my papers, some of which I just threw on a pile throughout the year. I bought a calendar for the new year. Still doing that. I hate my phone calendar. I would go my closet, hoping find some clothes donate, go I could buy new ones. Went through my address book, only realize, how many friends I had lost contact with. Thinking about last December, about the goals I had set for myself. How many of that did I actually achieve? How many of those goals had I set for myself and how many for others? Did I really want live for someone else's expectations? Eventually I realized that I did not. Not that I dont care about others and their dreams. I care deeply. But I dont allow them anymore live their dreams through . I am just not sure, if this really made happier. Am I the only one shuffling around these thoughtss at this time of the year? Be yourself, noone else can be you. IMC58 |

After 2020 many people are feeling the blues. How about skipping goals and try to work on activities that make you happy?

Ah the old get rid of clothes so you've got an excuse to buy new ones trick. The only one shuffling about with thoughts of what you didn't do? I very much doubt it! In fact I know you're not, because I am aswell. I had intended to visit my nephew in Canada this year. Get the extention to the house built. But I think in this strangest of years we do have some excuse for failing to meet targets. When you set a goal do you put a date on it? If you set a goal & don't put a date on it. Then it's just a dream. Something you would like to happen, but you are unlikely to do anything to achieve it. It's all to easy for all of us to fall into that trap. I know I do. With regard to other people, we should care about their needs & desires. But we also need to look after what we need.

IMC I think it is good to reflect back on what we have or have not achieved and also to donate unwanted clothes etc We should not beat ourselves up over the non -completed but learn what is realistic A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.

I hear what you are saying. That month for me was November. It's in my blog. I was really let down by someone.
