There’s nothing very inspiring about pictures with grey skies. I took this one while out for my second or third walk when I thought I better take a picture of something before the sun goes down. There have actually been two separate groups in the CGC over New Year’s weekend. The first was here leading up to New Year’s Eve and the second was here on the actual night. Tonight the camp kids are down in the dining hall and plan on staying over night at main camp. They usually have some sort of reunion over break.

Everyone had a nice night ringing in the new year. I was asleep, but I think that still counts. I really think years are going by faster now, as it seems as though we were not all that long ago beginning another year in January. I feel like gradually I’ve become less reflective over new year’s time. I did make sure to buy a new calendar and new journal. The past three years I’ve filled four composition notebooks with notes and entries. This latest one took about a year.

I set a goal for 8,000 daily steps. It doesn’t hurt to set them. Other than that I don’t have much I’m thinking about in that regard. I would like to do less Instagram scrolling and more actual reading. Fiction, memoirs, church fathers, something other than stupid fluff. I’ve kind of just allowed my mind to be numbed and entertained and while I’m sure that has it’s place I do miss the sharpness that comes with reading other things. My eyes have started changing too where you have to hold out the bulletin or book just to see it.
