Everything stops but mostly it starts again. I never really stop doing stuff. If something fails completely then a sideways move or possibility can sometimes appear out of the blue, often at a point where one feels everything is rusted and seized up beyond redemption. I looked at a few old diary entries for this time of year and stuff happened but little was achieved it seemed to be honest. I have a stronger sense of things ending generally this year than I usually do at this time of year, a physical and metaphorical feeling in my bones one might say&#8230; But is it simply that usual winter feeling? Probably. I realised that it&#8217;s time to stretch my comfort zone again and expand it a bit to try and feel a bit less stuck again. I have been playing it very safe recently i think and I do need to really try and mix a bit more socially again but I have been literally shying away.<br><br>Its that thinking time of year again, not so much for grand plans but more just reviewing the old years events at its end and wondering a little bit about the coming one. My personal worlds boundary has shrunk a bit. Not a sudden thing but events nibble away sometimes at ones confidence and reversing that trend is not always so easy. The risk is doing something really risky or silly in a mad moment for me right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will be expecting a new tune no doubt so as not to disappoint here it is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" allow=\"autoplay\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/soundcloud%253Atracks%253A2236886282&#038;color=%23400e0e&#038;auto_play=false&#038;hide_related=false&#038;show_comments=true&#038;show_user=true&#038;show_reposts=false&#038;show_teaser=true\"><\/iframe><div style=\"font-size: 10px; color: #cccccc;line-break: anywhere;word-break: normal;overflow: hidden;white-space: nowrap;text-overflow: ellipsis; font-family: Interstate,Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans Unicode,Lucida Sans,Garuda,Verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif;font-weight: 100;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/dianastone\" title=\"Diana Stones Glasscage\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\">Diana Stones Glasscage<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/dianastone\/i-know-you-will-bite-me\" title=\"I Know You Will Bite Me\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\">I Know You Will Bite Me<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Today did not go to plan but Ho hum&#8230; Plans indeed.
