Of Mid-Year Blues

So it’s June.

I’m just now managing to Blog after a few months of really having nothing to say.My latest birthday has come and gone (actually, it was a super-fun birthday!). The weather has turned (I've observed that Aucklanders are freaking out). I’ve suffered through my first man-cold of the season. (Note: man-cold is serious business. Don’t believe me? It’s on the internet so it must be true).

It’s been a tough 6 months.I’m tired. Physically. Mentally. Emotionally.I’ve discovered that there are limits to my presence and availability. I’m able to focus on work, and putting my kids first. But others are missing out.

There are days where I’m spent by 9pm.

There are days where I just have no time or energy to give to others . To interact.

I don’t actually like this, but it’s my reality at the moment. I’ve set certain goals I need to achieve before I can shift my attention elsewhere. Thankfully, those goals get closer to completion each month, and I can see an end-point.

It’s not all doom and gloom though.

My kids are well. They’re happy and healthy and making great strides at school. This is the most important thing to me in the great scheme of things.

Business is going well. There are always things that irritate and distract slightly, but overall it’s working out.

My health is actually good. Being able to spend time at the gym has helped greatly. I actually look forward to my workouts (this is something I never thought I’d say!). I’ve seen mental improvement as well as physical. So the great BodyTech experiment of 2013 has been absolutely worthwhile.I think I need a holiday.

And soon.- S
