January....You've Been a Roller Coaster

The January Roller Coaster.

We are just about ready to close out January 2013. How quickly it has passed.

For me January has been a roller coaster of energy and lethargy, of creative bursts and black hole sludge, lofty project goals and 'can't get out of my own way' days.

Maybe it's the New England cold, or the extra few pounds that are hanging on for dear life. Maybe I need to accept the fact that each new year brings an adjustment period. Is it this way with you too?

January, you've provided me enough time to adjust to some new things, new ideas, new challenges. The question is this: will February be the start of rising to those challenges? Or still find me fumbling around in the black hole?

A quick look at some of what is in store for 2013.

We hope to spend more time this summer (unlike last summer) at the camper that we 

share with my brother on Cape Cod.

I hope to do more painting, more exercising, less mindless snacking, more praying, more sharing, more playing, less worrying.

Is it too late to say Happy New Year? Twenty thirteen, I'm ready now. 

Keep Shining!
