Weeds were pulled.

Nourishing, new earth laid, awaiting new plants.

A Little Sun To Help Break Up The Gloom

It is fair to say that I struggle in February.

By now you would think that I would have learnt, I would have remembered that this time every year is not a good time for me. I feel the gloom, I want to escape from everything, seek out new places, find the sun. This particular February has been especially dark, it has rained (a lot!), it has been windy and everywhere outside is wet and muddy!

I have been short fused, gloomy, uninspired by anything except the desire to just go, find new shores, explore and escape the doldrums. 

However there have been a couple of hopeful days. 

A reminder that Spring might be on its way.

A chance to blow away the cobwebs.

Lift the Spirit.

The Month of January

January is a strange month, it is the start of a new year, a new chapter, a time to make changes, make new resolutions, but in contrast it can also be a month of dreariness, a harumphh month, a month of miserable weather, a grey month! 

January is a battling month between the desire to refresh, refocus and restart and the want to hibernate away from the grey, post christmas gloominess. 

My January has been an refreshingly, inciteful month, a month to find inner peace, to find my true self, a month for us to grow as a family and realise what we hold most important.  Having said that I too have been affected by the January gloom I have definitely felt like hiding under the covers and not coming out until Spring, but thankfully I have come out the otherside and realised that those positive things I have gained from the month of January far outweigh the spell of  melancholy that descended. I leave the month with a bounce in my step, full of anticipation to what February will bring and what new adventures we shall have.
