Sunshine on a rainy day

Now that winter is fast approaching and the dark evenings are drawing in, I have found myself in a terrible habit of getting home from work, putting on my comfy joggers and chilling in front of the TV all night. Infact, the more I do this, the more miserable I have become, so have decided to free myself from the house arrest I have put myself under before it’s too late.

I have enlisted the help of my friends and made a pact to meet up at least once a week whether it’s at the cinema, a restaurant or even a few drinks in town. Thankfully, they are feeling the same way as I am so we are all determined to go out more and have fun! Along with this, I have also renewed my gym membership and hope the regular exercise will pull me out of the sluggish misery taking over my mind and body.

The leaves may be falling off the trees and Jack Frost may be on his way, but that doesn’t mean I need to lose my sparkle because I have nothing to be miserable about. I have moved into a great home with new friends, I now have a little nephew to spoil, I’m going to South Africa in six weeks and the Christmas party season is near, so why should I be sitting in front of the TV wishing my life was better, when I should be grateful for what I already have.

Sometimes a good reality check is what you need, and that has happened to me tonight. There’s going to be no more sadness. It’s all about being happy and confident because what goes around comes around, and if I carry on in this state, I dread to think what’s coming my way. The tables are turning so watch this space!
