A Good January

 January 2021

How have you been good so far to me? Oh January.

You have offered up many days of rain so that each sunny moment feels like some great blessing bestowed upon me. 

Your coming has reminded me to think about who I am, where I have been, and where I am going. 

January ~ I had a son in January and it was fourteen years ago now. It was a birth that changed the rest of my life ~ as all births do ~ and it forever changed January for me.

I have a little one year old who runs and sings and hums and giggles this January. She turns two oh so soon and this stage, this time will be over. This January is especially precious because of her.

This January 2021 like never before, any kind normal interaction with a fellow human is counted like  jewel, a pearl, a precious moment. Everything has changed but last January it was all still the same and I didn't know what was coming. I took it forgranted that seeing another persons whole face would be taken away. That going to church was something I might actually miss. That friendships were going to be shaken and last January I had no clue. 

January 2021 ~ The mountains shrouded with mist, white capped and regal are something I look at every day with thanksgiving. I have always been thankful but this time with so many other normal every day things stripped away, they are good for my soul in deeper ways.

January 2021 you are good

Thank you
