Goodbye, January

I always breathe a little easier when January is over. I don't mean to offend anyone that loves the first month of the year; but it's too long. 31 days of grey are too long. I love it when February comes and I can start to think about showing love to others. I can even feel a tiny bit of Spring in the air- can you feel it? The sun is already moving- the sunlight hits my front window even more lately. January really had it's moments. I have just really tried to keep up with the laundry, the dishes, the cleaning, the vacuuming, the fun. Jordan went off -track last week so we'll be looking to stay busy- all after the colds have departed from our house. I have been deeply humbled by my friend Heidi and her family- and their loss of their sweet Jocelyn. I have also loved reading another blog of Natalie- also many tears for her and her family. Life is so short. Life is so sweet. There's no doubt in my mind about the sanctity of life; how precious it is. I have another friend who has a sweet new baby girl who has Cornelia De Lange Syndrome- and her husband blogs about her here. I am trying to be patient with Logan who last night was up four times screaming... and with his reflux I am trying to be more loving with him and trying to understand his needs.
