#249 Blue Monday

Hi. Hello - up here, further North it's getting noticeably brighter earlier. This is just after 8 AM this morning, and the morninglight is providing a very nice silhouette of the Chugach mountains. The other light is light pollution from the city - but that's a whole different topic.

Here we are at the First Monday of February. We had five Mondays in January. That's a lot to deal with, and probably one of the reasons why January felt so damn long; compounded with the fact that there were FIVE Tuesdays - and that solidifies it. January had an ice grip testing your will if your resolutions or New Year/New Me mantra would stick. February is going to be a little gentler and provide the four Mondays (and subsequent Tuesdays) that we are more accustomed to. After this Monday, there will only be 46 Mondays left. So - if you are feeling a little less resolute. Take in the refreshing new air of a new month (and bitterly cold air in my case) and allow that to reinvigorate you. Adjust what ever you need to in your thinking, how you emotionally respond to something, whatever it is that may be impeding you - and if things are going smoothly and you are running on all cylinders, stay vigilant watching out for potholes or other obstacles that may cross your path. 

The sun is rising, and brightening the day. That lifts me up so much as since the increments of light gaining has been so minimal and January made it seem as though no progress was happening.
