Reflections.
Jan. 3rd, 2013 03:38 pm New Year's is usually a time of relative isolation & contemplation for me, making these reflection & retrospection posts really easy to write. Not so this year -- in fact it has been my busiest New Year ever, surrounded by friends and activity -- poker tournaments, D & D one-shots, movies, board games, parties, -- clearly not a bad thing, especially when my seasonal doldrums have attacked early.
My life in general has been like that lately -- too amiable and sociable for me to be as creatively productive as I would like. The doldrums -- the depression, the sudden onslaught of anxiety attacks that cropped up this year -- have been a factor as well, obviously. I didn't do very well at any of my resolutions from last year. By an objective, goal-oriented standard, this year has been an utter failure for me.
So thank God, I'm not objective, I'm not goal-oriented, and I'm not alone. Nasty as my emotional roller-coaster has been, it would have been worse (and my productivity too) were it not for the light and bustle of friends keeping me cheery.
Resolutions coming shortly.
