January...

As I turned over the numbers on my block calendar, and pulled December out - January's block peeked out at me and something just clicked. As I pulled out January and placed it in its spot - it seemed so surreal, as if it had so much to say.

And what is it about January? Is it that we have a clean slate? That all of the year end drainage that turned into sludge has just fallen away? Why does it seem so shiny, so new? And what about resolutions? We make resolutions, most of us don't keep and yet we step into the world and find it more quiet, more peaceful. It is as if the sludge never existed and thus life born anew.

I like January - with all of the hope and new possibilities it brings. The time has come to plan and plant seeds that will bring forth great harvests in the spring, summer and fall.

I like January...
