Ode to January

The days have gone by so fast I feel I cannot grasp them. Now that peaceful January has started I will be able to focus and slow down. I can't help but say that the world is ordered so perfectly. Slow January starts the new year and gives us time to get past the last year and plan out and implement the next. I know most people do this in December but December is so busy with family and all that I'm never able to think it through till January. In January I am able to concentrate only on self and changes I have made and still want to make.

I have always hated January. It's long, in my area of the country there is no snow and also no light. The days are dark, cold, and if we do get precipitation it is ice not snow. In my mind the color of January has always been dust brown with a weak greenish cast.(Not the beautiful nut brown of fall.) But in the last two years January has become a quiet time of self reflexion. As I age quiet and peace has become supremely important. So this is my theme for January. I will be posting plans, ideas and steps to implement them all through this month. So stay tuned......
