I totally get where Snoopy’s coming from. That feeling close to panic at how fast things are going and realizing you can’t keep up.
I also totally get his (ahem) solution!
“I can’t keep up!”
The end-of-January blues
What are the end-of-January blues, you ask?
Well, they actually start way back in the stress and busyness of the holiday season.
Here at Ananda, we catch our collective breath from Christmas only to immediately begin preparing to celebrate Yogananda’s birthday on January 5.
After which it’s time to pull together the music ministry’s report of what happened last year and plans for the new year for the annual Sangha Outreach Ministries presentations the third week of the month.
Come the end of January we’re shifting into high gear with rehearsals for our annual performance of Christ Lives: An Oratorio, plus Ramesha and I are booking tickets for our springtime trip to Switzerland to see his family.
I realize that by the time February arrives — with its full calendar of activities — I feel like I’ve been falling behind since October, with no hope of ever catching up.
And that’s why I’ve got those end-of-January blues… Oh yeah! 🎺🎶
