A new blog to contain answers to prompts |
Since my old blog "Everyday Canvas " became overfilled, here's a new one. This new blog item will continue answering prompts, the same as the old one. |
Prompt: Why does January feel like a year- long Monday? ----------- Does it? I haven't noticed any dragging. It may feel like it's dragging since we have a long year ahead and we may be worried about the way the world is going to you-know-where-in-a-handbasket. Yet, to my knowledge, in only online and social sites January is christened as the longest month. Still, it lasts just 31 days, like several other months. It could also be what we might call this the holiday slump. Since December has the overload of all the fun, excitement, and action. January, afterwards all that, becomes a letdown. Also, with January, we get the worse weather in most places. Even here, in FL, I'm wearing a sweater today, although the sun is shining full force outside. Another thing is, people make resolutions for the new year that they cannot possibly keep. That's why I never make any new-year's resolutions, by the way. I have enough on my plate as it is, and I know my limits. Then, let's face it, this is a new year and it comes with new pressures, such as financial ones, the change of the president, and tax time looming on the horizon. Just thinking about all this makes me want to zoom to another space and time. Yet, no pain is eternal. We must keep that in mind. And let's not forget. January is only 31 days. It won't last forever. |
