Back to normal

Mark me down as someone who is HAPPY it's January!

I truly am. I'm happy the holidays are over. I'm thrilled to get back to my 'routine'. I'm anxious to deal with just the 'day to day' business of life.

I'm afraid I spent too much time last month thinking about things I don't have in my life as opposed to all the things I'm grateful for. Oh, I had plenty of days of contentment, but not nearly enough. I'm hardly the only one. The holidays, and especially Christmas and New Years, have that effect on many people.

I'm encouraged that I did come to terms with some very important matters; this will allow me to more forward more easily.

I don't know how, but I did not see even ONE movie over the holidays and there are so many fabulous ones out there!!!! I plan to get on that shortly.

Rather amazingly, I woke up this morning with a 'skip in my step'. I think I'm just happy that it's 'back to normal' and the reality is that my normal is PDG! (pretty darn great!) I spent the morning contacting my book vendors, and making appointments for things that need to get done this week.

For those of you dreading January, and I appreciate many do, perhaps you can remind yourself of this; its that 'this too shall pass'. I told myself that on many a 'challenging' day last month, AND.......it always did.

Happy Monday Friends!
