January marks several items:
- First - the beginning of winter here
- Second - presidential inauguration this year
- Third - the beginning of my 17th being treated for 2 kinds of cancers
- Fourth - beginning 11th year of retirement
- Fifth - the end of the first month of winter
- Sixth - the beginning of a new year
I like seeing the end of January because I mentally feel like there is not much left to winter... maybe 4 weeks...
By the time January ends, most of us pretty much know, if we are going to be serious about any of our news year's resolutions. I have learned not to take on anything that I would like to do, rather take on those things I MUST DO.
Must Do's for me include:
- Watch my diet (<2000 calories/day)
- Be nice to my cats/wife
- Continue blogs/writing
- Enjoy my life/proactive
- Maintain my house/yard
Anything else is just icing on the cake and does not matter if I do or not do.
I would like to have a better relationship with my siblings and daughter, but I know that is a two-way street and is not going to happen.
I also know that making more friends is highly unlikely given the fact that I don't venture out in public much anymore.
The end of January is symbolic for the most part of that winter is almost halfway over... and, as a result is a cause for celebration.
