Good Morning, January!

Classes this semester are much tougher.  That's OK.  I will attend the labs and get educated.  I'll get tutored if needed also.  I will also take advantage of the beautiful campus and use it as my gym.  The hills on the campus serve me well as far as my fitness goals go and the scenery keeps my attention so well that one mile of walking is gone before I know it.  Time flies when you are having fun and when you are busy.

It's already the middle of January 2012 and I still have my beautiful 2011 Yosemite calender hanging in the kitchen.  Didn't realize I hadn't changed it until yesterday when I tried to figure out how many days left until my math test.  I stood there with "duh" all over my face trying to find my test date.  I will say that the photos on the calender are too lovely for the trash can.  So, the calender stays and I resorted to the little Hallmark calender in my purse to help me organize the rest of the month.

By the way, Hello January!  When exactly did you arrive?  You are half spent and I'm just now getting around to thanking you for the days you brought us!  Sorry to take you for granted like that but you did bring us some busy stuff to handle!  Thank you for bringing us lovely weather.  I'm sure February will bring us the rain we need.  We are not at all missing the snow since most of us still have debris in our yard from the last two winters' furious blasts.  In fact, all the sunshine is providing opportunity for walks and hikes that normally are on hold this time of year.  I'm usually getting fatter this time of year but here you are will all this sunshine, enabling me to progress in my health efforts.  Thank you, God, for giving us this beautiful January!  It feels like springtime!
