January.... the Journey of Life

Wow.....    The month of January has gotten away from me.

The Christmas scenes have been winterized. 

The sunny days of January have been few and far between.

I have a really hard time with dreary days so I still have

 twinkling lights on and  Christmas trees up.

In my defense one of my trees is all decorated with snow things. 

In January it is referred to as my Winter tree!

Just a couple more weeks and I will have had enough of Winter

and will be ready to put it all away again.

I feel sort of like my dog.... Really if I'm cozy and happy

who cares if my house still looks like Christmas in January. 

I don't have a new word for the year.

I tried it for 2 years and both times forgot what my word was 

half way through the year.  Heaven help me. 

 I should try again. 

Maybe I need to make some sort of sign

 to help me remember.

Maybe this year I would do better. 

It takes me a while to catch on.

I had hoped to do a little sewing everyday in 2016. 

It hasn't happened.

I am always such a work in progress. 

Perhaps this is why....

There have been a few changes in my life this month.

I have a New part time job,

and

a New Granddaughter! 

Vivian Ruth. 

Born Jan 25.

7 lbs 7 oz. 

She is perfect!

I don't have a lot to show for the month....

I have put the binding on a couple of charity quilts

fixed a few meals,

done some laundry,

had some snuggle time.

It is enough.

This might be one of those years where I don't get a lot done 

except the most important things.

Winter hugs, 

Janita
