It's time I have a talk with January!
January you are tricky
complicated
a bit misunderstood!
I begin this month with so much excitement...
a brand, spanking new calendar just waiting for doodle marks...
to~ do lists, schedules, celebrations...
all the happenings of the Co to be scribbled down!*!#@!
I spend the first few weeks focusing on the goals I want to achieve in 2012
I fine tune the details on my bucket list...
I'm bubbling over with excitement for what's to come
I toss in my wishes, hopes and prayers for the adventure ahead!
I embrace the freshness, the challenge to make it a great one
I feel ready to tackle it all...
I start each day with joy, energy, enthusiasm...
I'm doing the work
I'm doing my part...
but, I have a tiny complaint about our friendship.
You are making it very tough to keep my energy level H I G H
this friendship is turning very one sided...
I am giving
you are only taking
you are down right draining me
zapping me
crushing the enthusiasm I showered upon you on the 1ST
There I said it!
I got it off my chest
it's out in the open now
Phew
This by no means means I'm giving up!
Quite the opposite...
i'm taking this as an opportunity to dig deeper
fight harder
I will bring the color and warmth that is missing outside my window into my life myself!
I will continue to Choose Joy
so, you just better get on board!!!
Here's to working on our friendship, tweaking January and fighting for JOY!
xoxo,
P.S. If your friendship with January is complicated too feel free to stop on by...
the lattes are brewing!!!

ahh I hear ya...I am tired and ready for a break, but I don't see one in sight! I need to fight to keep going...maybe I need to start drinking coffee!! I wish I could pop over to your house for one! xo
I always feel like you are reading my mind..
although, I hate to sound so darn positive...
but January has been great for me..
HOWEVER
it has been great only because I made a very deliberate decision...
CHOOSE LOVE
see?
see how we are so much alike?
I have been saying it all week...
that love
happiness
and joy
they are CHOICES
in fact...the whole CHOOSE LOVE is the title of a blog post in my head, hoping to get out this week
I love how so much alike we are
only you are cuter with a way better fashion sense
CHOOSE JOY and have a wonderful day!
love you
Oh yeah - I have plenty of issues with January! I am trying to keep my chin up too!
Yay for Joy,
xo

Oh, January... I am glad I am not the only one that feels a bit off about my friendship with her. Pour me a latte! I need a few after my time with her!
Oh I hear ya friend. January is the hardest month of all. The gloom alone makes it a challenge. I've got to dig in a little deeper, so easy to lose sight of the goal.elliqueg
Amen, sister! I had this
very thought, yesterday.
Even a Year of Possibilities
can get mired down in
January! But, like you,
I'm plowing through and
will prevail : ) !! Hope you
and January become friends,
again....

Perfectly said. I always feel a bit like I'm ready to start a great year but need a nudge because I'm beat after the holidays. But I will choose action with a smile!
My suggestion to you is to move about four hours south and live by me.!
January is all but gone....it flew by for me....but come 4 weeks from now, I'll be DYING for some color and warmth!!!
Happy Weekend~

I like January because you get to go tobogganing but I'm a fan of the color weather that comes with January.
