Blog City ~ Every Blogger's Paradise" Day 2433 January 4th, 2025 Why does January feel like a year- long Monday? I’m not sure about the rest of January but that weird time after Christmas, until at least the first week in January, seems to be a fog when no one knows what day it is. I can hear myself saying, ‘It seems like Friday’ or asking, ‘What day is it?’ all the time! I’m always in a hurry for January and February to be over. Yes, I know I’m wishing my life away, but I’m not a summer person, much preferring autumn and winter here in my home city of Perth Western Australia. I love falling leaves and log fires, electric blankets and soup. I must admit though the stone fruit and berries at this time of the year a plentiful and delicious, especially mangoes, blueberries, raspberries and peaches. I know the song by the Boomtown Rats, goes: I don’t like Mondays, but I don’t mind Mondays. It’s the beginning of a brand new week, when anything is possible. Perhaps I should view January as a time of renewal too. |
Use these words in your entry today: sixth, elegance, spirit, frozen, sense, January, termination, and maneuvers. If I had any sense at all I wouldn’t imagine when the clock ticked over into another year that things would miraculously change for the better. The spirit of whoever decides fate, doesn’t miraculously realise that on January the first, time becomes frozen, the slate wiped clean, and the termination of all things bad and the beginning of all things good. But no, it’s not to be, real life is still in charge. By the sixth attempt at convincing myself otherwise, I feel it would take many difficult but elegant manoeuvres to outrun the problems which life inevitably throws at all of us. |
