2009 : A year in review? : January
Ever since moving to the US in 2002 January has been my least favorite month. In the early years of college I would spend the entire Winter break in Sunny Puerto Rico where it was constantly 80 degrees only to return right after January 1st to the "frigid" cold of Georgia (OMGZ 47 degrees!). My little body is too frail for anything under 75 degrees.
Nowadays, January might guarantee me 5 days of Sun. MIGHT. Last January was my first in the Pacific Northwest. A dreaded anxiety built up the months leading to January for I didn't know how horrible a PNW Winter truly was. While it wasn't the end-of-days scenario many painted for me, I must admit it wasn't easy.
But I made it through and was able to find some comfort and beauty in my old neighborhood of Mt. Tabor, and in friends, as always. As much as I despise this Season, Winter lighting is BREATHTAKING. Something about it...
