I never thought I would look forward to the end of winter break. Having kids rewires you in so many ways. I am looking forward to having them back in school and getting back to a routine. This is a busy week coming up, and I have the feeling that every first week of the month is going to be busy with a meeting Monday afternoon and Wednesday morning and possibly evening scheduled for those weeks. Still I am looking forward to the routine.
For the children I doubt it is going to be much fun. They have gotten used to sleeping in and staying up late. It is going to be a hard transition, and today is going to be the hardest of all. Once I finish writing this I am going to go upstairs to start pestering the kids. We have church in an hour and a half and have to leave the house sooner rather than later.
I got a lot on my plate and even more I have to add to it starting Monday, but I am ready. I am excited to kick this year off and get moving in the right direction. I also don’t know where this positive attitude is coming from. A lot of the work that is going to make me busy is hard and sad work. It isn’t going to be easy. It is going to be difficult, and that will lead to even more difficulties.
All we can do is face each obstacle as it comes. As I said yesterday, one of my biggest faults is I anticipate instead of reacting. I don’t wait for circumstances to emerge I try and predict them, and that has created a lot of difficulties in my life. Again, this is why 2026 is the year of stability.
Part of stability is a steady and predictable routine. I can’t wait to be back in the office working on everything I need to work on. Aside from the normal social media posts that I do for the business I need to get some sort of accounting software for the other business and then go through everything. Get organized so that the next year isn’t such a mess.
That is one thing. The other new thing is I need to hire again. It is time to relaunch the hiring ad and really try and find that next star employee. I know the path forward. It is clear. That doesn’t mean there won’t be obstacles and dangers on that path. Because the final new task is figuring out what to do about my mother’s declining health and how to pay for the services she needs.
Just writing that sapped all the positive energy I had going. Well, let’s go eat some breakfast and wake up the children.
