Winter Blues?

Is it odd that when winter rolls around people start feeling a little lonely and sad. I've unconsciously experienced it before but this time I see it coming. The sky darkens a little earlier and the weather has turned a bit colder; winter is coming.

I'm not really a good loner. My dad used to tell me that one develops his character only when he spends time with himself. I can't say I always enjoy the loniness. I can't say I enjoy ponder all the time. Pondering can become ponderous. (Sorry for the pun. I couldn't help myself.) I can truly say the challenges I've faced have made me stronger and tougher. I can do more, multitask better, but I'm not sure that I know how to develop others yet. I haven't learned the nuances of leadership as much as I thought I had.

There's still much I have to learn about myself and how to lead others. I've barely touched the edges. I used to think I was the shit, but there are still much to learn. The Army has taught me that I have to act like I know what's going on, but on the other hand, I need to recognize that I have much to learn.

Sorry... there's no rhyme or reason to my thoughts. Just rantings of a man who is become reflective... maybe my Dad was right..

Anyhow, on another note I'm going to post photos of my apartment. Check it out.
