Getaway (2)

Being on a vacation means different things to different people. If you talk about a tropical island, most people imagine themselves on the beach in a lounge chair with a drink in one hand, or waiting for a coconut to drop and drink the coconut water straight from the tree…

It has been a while since I got away. You may have noticed an absence even here on my blog. Not because I have nothing to write about, on the contrary. More like there is no energy to write or do anything at all.

The lie today is this:

Starting over

Every year it is the same, all festivities are done and the year starts over. Now it’s the time for the “longest” month of the year. The darkest days (apart from the few days before Christmas that are actually the darkest days of the year) are in front of us. As well as the coldest days.

Moody New Year

One week in and we already have had enough of winter and are already dreaming of spring or summer. Mother Nature will have a small-print clause like “More to come…” somewhere, though.
