Probably the most important thing I can say about the beginning of 2026 is that nature gave us a real winter. The days may be sunny or a little cloudy, but there is no doubt that they resemble winters from my childhood.
Now I try to walk every day. This is mainly due to the recommendations of my doctor, who is trying to save me from back pain. Fortunately, I will be on vacation almost until the end of January, which will allow me to implement this treatment program most successfully.
However, the main beneficiaries of such a regime are my dogs. They already missed walking in the woods or in the field. Unfortunately, my work schedule is too busy. I would be happy to have more such walks, but I just can't organize it. I often leave the house in the morning when it's still dark and come back when it's already dark. Of course, I didn't plan and didn't want to. But the economic crisis dictates its own conditions. I don't think I'm the only one like that. As far as I hear what my friends and acquaintances say, the financial situation is difficult for everyone.
Nevertheless, I hope that the New Year will allow me to stabilize the situation as much as possible. It's also important for my mental state, because instability is very bad for it.
