The Dark Ages

Well, it’s here.
The Dark Ages

Also known as, January through March. I personally find these months the most depressing of the year. It’s dark when I go to work; it’s dark when I go home. There are no major holidays until Easter – which may actually fall in March sometimes, but that’s neither here nor there. The point is there ain’t much goin’ on.
I mean, there IS stuff going on. But nothing exciting to look forward to. It’s like we’re all just surviving the dark the cold the wind… oh the wind! Until spring arrives… springahhhh

Sorry if I’m depressing you. Actually, I’m not really depressed so much as bored.
I’m bored with cold weather, with coat and hat piercing wind, with slush, and mud. I’m bored with spending 10 hours a day sitting at the same desk looking at the same computer with the same work staring back at me.
I’m bored with darkness. Bring on the sun! You know what that is. It’s that big bright orange thing that’s usually up in the sky!
To combat the darkness I’ve decided to try and read the Bible through in chronological order this year. Actually, if truth be told I stole the idea from a blogger I follow. :)
Anyway, it’s a good idea. Something I’ve never done. I’m only about 5 days in and I’ve already read things I hadn’t before. Interesting…… I’ll keep you posted.
So in a way, I guess I’ll bring my OWN light to the darkness by beefing up my bulb. :)
