Fresh Snow


I do enjoy a clean page to write on.

It`s naive to think that a new year absolves you of all your past problems, but new years bring clean slates. Although there is that old saying "Where ever you go, there you are",there is a good argument to the fresh beginning of a new year.

For me, the concept of "a year" has always looked and felt like a physical journey for me. It`s challenging to explain.

January comes and things feel clear and new, what with having nearly a month off, by choice. I am goal oriented, and although I never make new years resolutions ( mostly because I am self-sabotaging, but mostly because I like to do things my way and in my time), I do feel a freshness about the new year to come.

January and February feel, to me, like a I am the top of.....whatever. Maybe the top of a ski hill, looking down at fresh powder that no one has spoiled yet. It is actually a physical feeling in my body and mind.

March and April feel "vanilla" to me...I'm into the swing of things, anxiously awaiting summer. I feel grounded.

May, June and July is where I feel the most balanced. For obvious reasons ( to me) this is because my astrological sign is most comfortable around this time of year. I feel like I am on a balance beam, right in the middle

August is pure relaxation for me. Except when I am rushing to enjoy the weather...trying to pack in all the iPod, book, tanning lotion, bikini time all at once. Although relaxed, I feel like I might miss out on something.

September is really the beginning of my business year. It's new sweaters and a refreshed attitude about business and it smells good; Like fresh apple pie and cinnamon.

October, November, and December always feel low for me. Not in attitude, just physically. I feel like I am at the bottom of a ski hill, waiting for the chairlift to come and get me, and take me back to the top of that exciting black diamond run I call January.

Have a pleasant year, everyone.

Beautifully written! I agree with you about the month of January..I am also goal oriented. Like right now, I feel such a positive energy surrounding me, a wave of "I can conquer anything"..even suppress the urge to eat sugar/chocolate(going on day 10 without any.Goal to go for 10 weeks.

I am glad you have such a positive energy surrounding you....no doubt you created that yourself. :) You have beautiful energy.
I began my new health regime a week before Christmas....it too, is a 10 week goal of trying to eliminate white foods from my diet. I feel amazing. I know you will too....Chocolate though....I dunno! ;)
