It feels as though I am coming to the end of things and I am not quite sure why. Life is good, if busy. Work is rewarding. Never before have I had so many good people to play games with, whether face-to-face or online. I’ve even found my way to games that I enjoy the most. Yet it feels as though I am coming to the end.

My suspicion is that I am simply tired and that the feeling of low energy is tempting me to believe that because I feel empty, the reality is things are becoming empty. This is the fallacy of believing what you feel is really what is happening; it’s a thought distortion, not truthful.

The hard thing is working out whether the tiredness is connected to my hobby. Previously I recognised the need to dial back the podcast because it had become a second (unpaid) job. Weekly episodes became biweekly. But the blog feels too much too now. Like I said, it feels as though I am coming to the end of things.

Perhaps a break is in order. I don’t want to lose all that I have gained – the friends and the community most of all. But I feel sort of stretched out, thin, and as if I am fading. I am sure those who read this will want to encourage me to do whatever I need to do, to make the choices that are right for me. If only I knew what is right to do.

But if things slow or stop, well, at least you’ll know why. Thank you all for your attention and support. I truly do appreciate all the comments and calls.

Game on!
