(Pre-script: this post will be better digested when paired with an open mind, a strong beverage, whatever your idea of a "Strong beverage" is, and the song:" Closer." by Joshua Radin. Please go down to the playlist, click on that song, then come back and resume reading. I'll wait.)

Y'all, the Januaries were back in full force today.

Apparently they have a collective understanding: "Invade the gym on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. This is the way to new year bliss. This is the way to accomplish our goals and make all of our wildest dreams come true...until we slowly taper off and get back to status quo by February."

Was I annoyed?

Heck yes!!

And here's the secret, peeps. It's okay that I was annoyed. It's okay that I feel however I feel, and it's okay to write about my own feelings on my own blog. Feelings are what they are. I do not, no not need to be scolded or guilted because of it. Y'all, I am smart enough to think up the other side of the issue by myself, thank you very much. I do NOT need to hold hands and sing "Kumbaya" with every January I encounter at the gym to be expressing the love of Jesus. Besides, I am pretty sure that even Jesus, the Son of God Himself, felt irritated with people, even people He was sometimes being nice to.
