January Fantasy

Ok. I am not going to skirt around it. I MISS THE SUN! Just thought I would put your minds in another place with some tempting pictures of where I would like to be at this very moment... I had better find a really bright light bulb somewhere to ease my pain. We have not seen the sun here for weeks while this crazy inversion has settled over and I can really feel it. Kinda like a heavy backpack is on, or you feel half asleep all the time, or like the ceiling is really low. Anyone up for a trip to Hawaii or Mexico?? Happy January...I had better get on the treadmill to work it out of my system. Hey, at least it gets hot.

New winds

Do you ever have that feeling that new winds are coming? Either for better or worse, but that is when I get book crazy and looking for quotes.

Call it soul searching or looking for help from someone who has been there. Reading is the lifeline of knowledge for me. Lately it is all about parenting books and ways to learn from others on how to raise a family and do it peacefully. (Help?!)

The funniest habit of my reading is that I rarely ever finish a book before starting a new one. At any given time, I may be in the middle of four or five books and the stack of books next to our bed has bookmarks almost halfway in all of them. I do finish all of them at some point, but just not in order. I guess I am always looking for the next great book and can't wait to finish the other one before getting started. Can anyone out there relate?

Anyway, winds of change. New year, new goals, new experiences. This year it is all about just becoming better. A better wife, mother, friend, listener, cleaner, sister, etc. More than better hopefully.

You would be surprised how to I look to so many of you as my examples on this...
