Well that’s one twelfth of 2012 now over and gone forever......the bleakest
and often coldest month of the year. It official has days where some poor souls
are more likely to take their own lives – statistically proven - and other days
where us mere humans are more prone to depression and even statistics that show
which day people are more likely to cheat on each other.... then there is the
retail slump, as suffering still from the costs of Christmas festivities and
gifts to one another....we are all feeling the financial squeeze of what always
appears to feel like the longest month of the year. Thank goodness then for February!
Yet although January can be a challenge to many of us, it is
also the time of beautiful wintry landscapes, of being in the warmth of our
homes sharing maybe more time than usual with our loved ones, a time of
reflection on the past years events and of new years resolutions, where we
inspire to be better and happier than we were in the previous year and of
course, it is a time of the January sales...and procuring a whole host of
bargains.
Yet, it should always be borne in mind that whilst we are
busy wishing this austere month gone........we have also lost another 31 days
of our lives.....never to be retrieved....a thought worth holding onto as we
delve into the delights of February....
