what is January for anyway?

I live in the moment. Enjoy it, smell it, see it, laugh it, hate it.

January gives me trouble. I try to live in the moment but find that she

slams me into "hurry up and be over" mode. Is it the dark mornings and early nightfall?

Is it the pressure of new start/look back? Awaiting spring, awaiting spring break.

Even if I am not in look-ahead mode, I am doing my least favorite things - those that I can only get to when the sun is not beckoning - patching, paperwork, organizing.

I should realize I need it, take advantage and be grateful for this closed-in month.

But this is hard to maintain for 31 days.

February is even worse - it has 4 weeks too!!
