Oh January, you are the hardest month! Life is gloomy, the weather is terrible and the glow of Christmas is long-gone! I often hear from people that they find January hard and indeed, I would say I find this to be true also. The interminable darkness, the cold and the gloom. It sounds morbid to say it, but I tend to find I am often frequently very delayed on my way home on the train in January and February due to people not being able to cope with January, need I say any more.
BUT, if you are feeling like that... remember, the light is coming- slowly, but slowly, inching its way stealthily, stealing back the hours which darkness thought it could claim irrevocably. Spring,the greatest gift will be back on its way soon. Snowdrops are tentatively finding their way back to the garden, the daffodils WILL return, even if it is a little while yet. Remember, everyone feels like that. There is hope, there is light and there is joy yet to come. Aslan will return and Spring will come again! :-)

Hi Kezzie, sorry I've been away from the blogging world. You are right, January has been a difficult month and thanks for the encouragement....
ReplyDeleteFor me it was the bitter cold, the frozen water pipes in the barn and having to carry tons of water for the 27 calves, slippery walk to the barn and so much snow.... I admit to feeling blah and no energy but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
I'm looking forward to much longer daylight time and daffodils blooming.
PS, in due time I'll try to catch up on reading the posts I missed.
Hugs, Julia
2 minutes a day they say, that's how the much the sun has moved closer to us every day since 21st December .... it's already bright over an hour later in the day than it was then -- that cheers me up when I've having blah days .... That, and having a fire lit. Chin up Kezzie :)
ReplyDeleteI actually find February worse than January. I know, weirdo right? At least in January I'm expecting it to be cold and dark - by February I'm wondering whether it will EVER end. Although I suppose February at least has the advantage of being short.
ReplyDeleteThis year January has been grey and wet but strangely warm. It was 12 degrees the other day! Warm Januarys confuse and worry me... I'm afraid the cold will appear with a vengeance in February ;-)
I saw a couple of yellow crocus buds this week...it cheered me up no endx

Not my favourite month, either, especially as it's been dark and rainy most of the time. And yet, the days are definitely getting longer. It's still light when I leave the office at 5 pm (that would be 4 pm in the UK), which makes all the difference. Not long now, although we might still have cold spells to come ... xxx
ReplyDeleteHi Kezzie - I'm definitely remembering this. We have just seen adverts for snowdrop walks - so spring is coming!

We had some sunshine today!
ReplyDeleteWhich was great to see, it lifts the spirits.
All the best Jan
I understand why people find January depressive, it's normal, but having been in and out of hospitals for months towards the end of last year, I guess this year I just feel happy and blessed to be out and about. It is cheesy but we all take our health for granted. Right now just being able to get out of the house feels like a blessing to me.
ReplyDeletehave a great week!
ReplyDeleteI really like your new decorative designs! it's beautiful so much and good idea on site.
