Getting Back on the Horse (AKA:#PoTd for 02-13-20)



I'm trying to "Get Back on the Horse". It's more like trying to get back on schedule.

What it really means is that I haven't been posting as much as I'd like. There are photos to Flickr,  videos to youtube & vimeo and even podcasts that should be posted then blogged about & tweeted.

It's starting to sound like a lot & it is a fair bot of work but, the really time consuming part is often making the things in the first place. That's where I've gotten behind. I usually make things ahead of time (when possible) & create a bit of a buffer or excess of stuff to post.

This usually allows me to keep posting things when other parts of my life get busy.  At this point most of the stuff that's made and prescheduled has run out. Now I 'm  trying to get stuff finished and rebuild that stock pile to fill up the queue's and get things back on schedule.

While I've been working on that I haven't been posting anything (expect to flickr as that queue was a bit longer than the rest). I sort of had this vision of stacking up all this work and scheduling all out so it would be "set it and forget it". Which is exactly what I hoped to do, that is forget it for a while & concentrate on some other stuff.

But, that's not how life works ... at least not my life.  So, this is me taking a small step to get back on the horse and post a little bit at a time while I try to get caught up.

This is not the last time I'll have to get back on this horse,  in fact every day we get out of bed is 'getting back on the horse' to some extent. That idea is sort of comforting.  It makes it seem a little less daunting, its' not "GETTING BACK ON THE HORSE" it's just getting on another horse just like we've done a thousand times before.

Christmas is over once again.


 During the Christmas season I posted (on Flickr) a series of photos called "The Many faces of Santa". The series had photos of different gift giving figures like Santa Claus that I have accumulated over time. Today the last of the set is being posted and they are of the back of these characters.

To the best of my knowledge all the Christmas Gift Givers have come and gone for another year.
Epiphany was yesterday, the twelve days of Christmas are over, the Yules Lads have all departed and today (I believe) is orthodox Christmas.

That's why today's gift giving figures are shown from the back as if they are departing for another year. 

The anticipation is nice, the celebration is great, but wrapping up Christmas and putting it away is also satisfying.  To me putting away all of the things that go with Christmas is comforting. It's a sort of a pat on the back that says "we did it again, we had a good Christmas"  and it's sort of the first small steps in preparing for the next Christmas.

Putting things away so that they'll be ready when you need them for next Christmas sparks little ideas of what you might want to do next year... well not really next year, it's now the end of this year. 


It is (or was, or soon will be) time to put away the last of the decorations and with them the old year AND get on with the new one.


 I hope everyone has had a good Christmas and will have a good 2020.
