Another Winter...

January. Again. I never could get the hang of Januaries. I think it's because there's no real sense of renewal. Yeah, it's another year... but let's be reasonable, it's just a number. For those of us in Ohio, the new year is just shy of half-way through the bitter cold season... not much of a benchmark.

I need to remind myself that this is part of being from the Midwest- feeling uncertain and cold for at least four months out of the year.

I need to remind myself that the rest of my friends feel this too.
