the last quarter
It’s the first of October today, and that means we’re entering the last quarter of the year.
For me, three months has always been a powerful block of time. I’ve seen how much can be achieved in 90 days when I focus. It’s long enough to make something real happen, but short enough to stay locked in.
This year didn’t go to plan. My photography 365 challenge fizzled out. I wanted to end the year as the fittest I’ve ever been, ready to carry that into my 40s, but instead I’ve fallen out of shape. Mental health struggles and new medication knocked the wind out of my sails and left me without the drive I usually have.
I can’t change the first nine months of the year, but I can shape these next three. When New Year’s Eve arrives, I want to look back and know that I made these 90 days count.
This is my last quarter.
