August came and went. I am not quite sure where. It's been a very hot summer. It's September now, which started out - as it usually does - with a renewed sense of hope. What little hope I have left. Time to purge closets, cupboards, drawers, start new routines, try to fix bad habits. Time to enjoy time to myself, while simultaneously longing for company.
Work is okay but it's hard to find meaning. I wonder if I am suited for this type of work or if it's too idealistic for me. When did that happen? Today marks 7 years since I moved back to Ontario. Where did 7 years go? Sometimes I feel like I have nothing to show for it...but that couldn't be more wrong.
The book I'm reading, Where'd You Go Bernadette, is finally getting interesting and I wish I was reading it instead of sitting at a computer. But since I'm stuck at a computer I'm taking a time out to do something I like (write). I'm working hard to keep my head up and find balance. That's the problem with having few responsibilities and endless options, I think. Hardly a problem at all if you think about it.
I set a goal of reading 12 books this year. I'm on the 11th one. You know what, 2016 hasn't been a banner year but I've done better at working toward my personal goals than I have in a long time.
