Right now
I'm listening to an audiobook called Women Talking- it's a fictional story based on the true events involving assaults on women living in a strict Mennonite colony in Bolivia in the mid 2000s. It is a tough book to follow- as the names sound either traditional old German, Biblical or Bolivian and with at least 6 main characters I struggled to keep them all sorted out. The themes are curious- forgiveness, faith, patriarchy, community. Some tough knots to untangle- that is for sure.
I'm loving that the month is coming to a close. I came back from my winter camping adventure- motivated to eat right, exercise, drink my water and just be committed to a state of wellness.. I confidently notified my employer that come June- I was moving on to new adventures. I was participating in a challenge called Dry January (no alcohol) and even started doing daily yoga. I felt great-
And then BAM- the mother of all colds found me to be a vulnerable host- probably because there was no alcohol to keep those germs at bay? As I started to recover, Mother Nature decided to show us proud Coloradans what she really is capable of.
Snowstorm after snowstorm, followed by sub zero temps- Ok, lady- we get it- we are grateful for all the sunshine and breaks you usually give us between storms and we promise not to take your weather patterns for granted.
So with this- it was a pretty light picture taking month. I did finish up the month with a ladies trip to the mountains- but even then I snapped only a few photos worth keeping.
I'm feeling depleted. Fingers crossed it's just the January blahs that reached an epic proportion this year. Hoping that February brings a feeling of renewal- and I can get back on my 2023 journey towards wellness!
