Ahhh…January. It’s the time for New Year’s resolutions and the emptiness of no holiday or warm weather to look forward to for a several months.
I propose that we make this January different. I’m not talking about fitness resolutions that will undoubtedly fall by the way side in the spring or mourning a tropical-island winter vacation that the poor economy has now made unaffordable. Instead, let’s focus on the good things, the simple good things that help us get through January:
NFL Playoffs –I don’t care if your team has been eliminated. With only a handful of games left in the season, every game is precious.
Chocolate – With holiday chocolate still in the house and on sale in the stores, plus the arrival of Valentine’s Day chocolates, is there a better time of year for the greatest food ever?
Award Shows – They’re back! It’s always fun to critique the nominees’ gown or suit…….errrr, I mean performance.
The television show 24 is back on—Need I say more?  Wouldn’t the world be a better place if Jack Bauer really did exist?
The point is no matter what you enjoy, take time to enjoy it!  Be grateful for the simple things in your life that give you pleasure.  January doesn’t have to be the bleak month that is dreaded by so many. Find your fun and remember-- the month only lasts for 31 days.
