Dec 9. Snow today, golfed a week ago
Cold, windy and some snow today...really reinforces the reality that golf is done til April. I will have to visit the health club more since I now have 6 hours extra on my hands each weekend. And when I go to the health club I will have to do more than sit in the steamroom.
Speaking of golf, the day after Thanksgiving me and my 2 golf buds played. They put a 4th golfer with us. Nice guy...good golfer...around our age. On the 7th tee I was asked him his age, and we started talking. Turns out he graduated from Maine South with us. and he had played football with my 2 golf buds...they were close friends in high school. after that, the round was full of conversation about the old days. It's a small world, huh? We played golf with him again last week.
Went to Menards this morning. Everywhere you go is in holiday mode. But I am not. I have written before that I am not a big fan of Christmas. Never was. As long as my family got what they wanted, I was happy. Now this holiday season is comprised of divorce related activities...submitting legal forms, planning for what lies ahead, alternating weeks in the house.... I am ready to get all of this taken care of now, but seems like such a waste of a holiday season. A month from now we will be in January, post holiday, and have nothing but the rotten weather of gripe about.
Way back in 2008 when I started this blog, I wrote that joblessness was ruining the holiday season since I was not attending work parties, and was generally in a depressed mood all the time. But, only one person can ruin our day, or our holday season, and that is us. Since I had my epiphanny, I have embraced that approach. And I will keep that approach. Because better days are ahead. or, as Bruce Springsteen wrote, "These are better days".
When I was in a depressed state back in 2008, my wife said to me that if I let something like joblessness do that to me, what would I do if something worse than that happened? I guess that must have stuck with me since I am more positive now than I was back then. Either that, or unemployment is worse for me than a divorce is. I hope to not find out.
