The weather is gloomy and depressing outside nowadays and the same is true for my mood. I just hope it is not mid-life crisis. Can it be already? I have decided on some measures to rectify the situation at the earliest. First and foremost, I need to start exercising again. I haven't been doing that for a few months now and this might be one of the reasons for general disinterest in life.
Secondly, I am going to finish all my unfinished projects or desires. Life is short...who knows what is going to happen tomorrow. This is what another friend and also a now well-known author told me some time back. I am already working on the book. I should be able to finish it soon. It is most likely to be an e-book. If the response is good, I might go in for the hard copy. Nothing decided really but I am exploring all options.
Besides this I feel I am not maintaining the work-life balance. Yesterday evening, a concall went on for two hours, which meant that I was not really at home even though family could see me. Need to change this. Also, I will stop watching Grey's Anatomy. I finally agree with the husband and think it is adversely affecting me. I am waiting for Sheldon Cooper (The Big Bang Theory) to come on air. Otherwise I think I will utilise the time to finish my book.
There are some well-wishers who mean well but use wrong strategy and end up running me down. Normally I am able to handle this but not right now. So this time I will crawl out of my low mood myself, without any help from my friends (yeah, I know I am not following Beatles advice here: with a little help from my friends.)
Last but not the least, Beatles and Dev Anand can come to your rescue in any situation in life. Better to adopt the stoic philosophy of Dev Anand Sahab from this song, Mai Zindagi ka saath nibhata chala gaya and effervescence of Aaj phir jeene ki tamanna hai instead of gloomy jaye toh jaye kahan. Beatles offer here comes the sun and let it be.
So, lets see if I am able to keep up my resolve...
