Goodbye January
I can’t believe that January has come and gone! In someways this month has gone by incredibly slow, but I still can’t believe that it is over. January is a difficult month. It goes by slowly for many reasons. It is the first month after December, a fast-paced month filled with fun. If you traveled to spend time with family, it is the first month away from your family. All of a sudden the beautiful lights of the Christmas season are packed away. Store window displays sparkle a little less, and people begin to “awake” from the holiday spirit, bogged down by New Year’s Resolutions and credit card bills. In December, when it is cold, it is just part of the beauty of the holidays. The cold weather is a blessed reason to stay home with people that you love, sipping hot chocolate (at least that is what I would be sipping on), and staying warm together. In January, it is just COLD! The same people that brought you warmth, are now just annoying. The cold weather seems that much colder without the promise of holiday cheer to bring a different perspective to it. And yet, with all these reasons to look down on this crazy month, I am going to miss it. I can’t believe that 1/12th of the year is already gone. Goodbye January.
