Whew! I am sorta glad to see January leave and hope February goes not too fast but not to slow either.
The past four years when January rolls in, it's like I wish I was a bear and could hibernate until the first day of Spring. This January has been kinder to me than I expected. I started off going back to my Doctor and getting a physical and switching up my depression medication. That was a good idea and I can tell it's better and working on lessening my anxiety about the beginning of every year. I have certain reasons why I struggle with these two beginning months of the year. I won't go into that now. It's just always been a struggle to cope.
Just a few highlights from January-
* New Years Day was spent at home doing nothing and spending time with Grant
*School was out for six days because of extremely cold weather and eventually snow. Grant was happy about that.
*I had a client job for Pentermann and took a really nice lady to the hospital for a medical procedure and we talked about a common thread we had which was being a widow and it was good to get to know her.
*I had a date on January 23 and it was the best date I had in a very very long time. We have since seen each other four more times and have decided to be exclusive and see how things go. He's a great guy and I could go on and on about him but just know he's been an answer to my prayers.
*Grant and I have been having great conversations about a variety of different things and he's maturing. It's a blessing that he's turning out to be a well rounded kid. I still worry about him but he's on a good track.
So, I guess I can accept that not every January is going to be difficult and challenging. That is good news for me!
