January Confessions

What can I say? This month was a series of ups and downs for me personally. I am very happy to say goodbye to the roller coaster that was January. On a positive note, one thing I enjoyed this month-- SNOW DAYS!  I loved to sit inside by the fire enjoying my hot chocolate while the snow comes down outside.  I know I'll hate to make up the snow days come June, but for now, it's a much appreciated break. I am definitely not a fan of winter and neither is my car!  I'm looking forward to February and have some fun things planned. I hope everyone had a better month than I did.  If I could sum up my month with a quote, it would be one of my favorites from Gilda Radner:

"I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next.  Delicious ambiguity."
