january...

...is here. As months go, its normally pretty good. I've found the high of Christmas tapers off as the lights go down but resolutions and dreams of change fuel the next treeless four weeks. December is so busy that the stillness of January is restful. February, however, always looks dour. The resolution turns to disillusion, the stillness to wistfulness, the gray from restful to aching. But while its January I'm resolving to have a cleaner house, fuller mail box, and more posts. And I'm wishing you a Happy New Year. :] Picture from aprintaday.com
