🌲🌲 A January Feeling 🌲🌲

And now, I want to link you, to a lovely article, called  "A January Feeling"...

I copy a few sentences here.  In hope that you will use the click-able link, and go to it, yourself...

🌲

"Of all the winter months, January unfolds like the deepest of slumbers. It closes in like the darkest part of the night; that utter blackness where dreams are found and then forgotten by morning. But despite it’s dark and sleepy facade, this month also brings us the gift of new beginnings. Explore what lies beneath us now and we will see there are the seeds of new life growing and unfolding deep under our feet."

🌲

" Our bodies will require more rest at this point of the year than any other. Daylight hours in the Northern Hemisphere are short and with less exposure to sunlight, we naturally have less energy. " 

🌲

"Shiny new gym memberships, the latest diet craze, Facebook ads with fresh daily routines to ‘boost our productivity’, there are so many ‘healthy’ roads we can take, some of which could potentially yield positive results, but are we really being kind to ourselves or are we doing ourselves a disservice? "

🌲

"In a season which encourages reflection, introspection and stillness,..."

🌲

All these lovely words.....   They make we wonder about the idea of  "First Steps"<---Click-able Link...  NowShould we be *gun-hoooo*.... In Hibernating January?

-sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-

"I don't think people understand how stressful it is to explain what's going on in your head when you don't even understand it yourself."  ~Unknown

"Confusion is a word we have invented for an order which is not yet understood."

Addition:

We are in an Ice Storm today/Sunday. 

Ugh...Ugh...Ugh...

January is my month for hibernation. I can easily sleep 10 hours or more a night during this cold and dark month. Thank you for the link to the article. We have rain but two hours north my Mom also had an ice storm. Wishing you a wonderful Sunday.

The day after a storm here and we went out in the bitter cold hoping to have a walk along the boardwalk. It wasn’t plowed however. Indoor exercise again today. Ugh!

I love photos taken in the winter light but I miss the full light otherwise.

Ice storms are so dangerous, especially when electrical power is cut off, not to mention traveling, which I don't do,
What I like about January are , the long nights giving me more time for reading and planning for the new year.
Thank you for visiting and for your great advice about blogging!
Enjoy your day.

For us January can be chilly, yet sunny, like Spring!!
Please, stay safe and warm during the ice storm. (It's raining here...70°)

I just keep on walking through all the seasons. It really does give me all the energy I need. :)

Very interesting thoughts on winter.
We had an ice storm last night, so it was slippery this morning, but not bad enough to close church.

Such beautiful wording in that article! I love to write and admire well-written pieces. Wish I could write that well!!! Thanks for sharing it. Hope you get through the ice storm without problems. I don't want an ice storm but I have come to like winter...although here in the south where I live we don't have that many really cold days. I love my sweaters, boots, & scarves...and have come to hate the hot, hot weather we now have. Stay warm and do continue to share such lovely articles that you find:)
