Cyclical Thoughts

crankyoldmanI'm sitting in a remote aromatherapy class that work offered (they offer so many random classes) and thinking about some essay-writing and various crafts I have in progress. I've got a "career goals" document sitting on one of my monitors and a study that someone else is handling the logistics of happening later this week.
I don't think I've fully recovered from the burnout I had reached at my last job, but I feel the most on the way to being in a healthy stasis than I have in months.
I got a moon calendar this year along with the standard linear time one, because since I've gone fully remote with work and have decided to stop trying to be extra productive when I just don't feel the energy I've just really vibed more with cyclical thinking. It's a really privileged position to be in, and even then bad days will still happen. But I feel like they're less devastating.
I'm looking forward to Spring. Going for walks with the dog has me wondering if I want to take up running again (haven't done that since I was a teenager, so no idea how that'll go). I've done more hand-sewing and it's gotten to the point that my stitches are coming out smaller and more even. Wife has been keeping our plants alive until we can put them outside. I've made so many soups and the shots of fire cider actually have helped with some of the malaise.
Hope y'all are also able to get some rest and plan for Spring.
