Well, it’s official. Tomorrow, I go back to the office. My so-called “snow”cation is over.

I have to say that I was disappointed. I think I want my money back. Or I want the money I didn’t make from not working those 5 days.

I never thought I’d be so thrilled to be going places like Publix and Taco Bell, but when you’re basically snowed in and the roads are treacherously icy (at least in my neighborhood), then you get used to looking out the windows at all the pretty snow. And not much else.

But tomorrow, reality returns. You might say that this is like hitting the reset button to 2024 and tomorrow is like the second New Year’s Day. If you like, you can start over on all those resolutions that you made that crashed and burned by week two. Or you can make new resolutions.

I for one am still looking forward to all that 2024 will teach me. Or more accurately, all that God will teach me in 2024. I’m hoping that it won’t just be another 365 or so pages that I tear off my calendar but a year that finds me growing a year older and wiser. A year that finds me more like Jesus on December 31 than I was on January 1.

It will take a little time to readjust to the routine. It will take a couple of nights before I get used to the new sleep cycle. I will more than likely have a bazillion emails waiting for me at work. But on the bright side, I have a car to get me to work and a job waiting for me when I get there. That’s worth the routine, I think.
