The indulgences are over. The discipline is back, but with it comes the sadness I battle every year in January. My kids go back to their homes and my house looks sparse and cold with empty spots where all the Christmas decorations were...... and my heart gets heavy. It is my least favorite time of year. But it passes soon enough and then, "lo, the winter is passed, the rains have ceased, and the time for rejoicing has come".....

Sherry G - I'm so glad you found me online.:) And I'm glad you've been enjoying It's No Secret.

Your kind comments about me truly warmed my heart on this chilly day. Thank you for telling me.

I'm trying to be smarter in Jan.!!! So..."get more connected via electronics". I've almost finished your "secrets" book and in the dimness of my own internal lightbulb, I realized I could access your blog. You spoke to our women at our St. Simon's Island retreat in Oct. and much of not only what you said but who you are still resonates with me. Thank you for the idea of a YahWeh sisterhood. Thanks for being so real...a major blessing source!!

Hi Rachel, I do like January for the reasons you stated, re-committing, reordering, re-establishing but I just love Christmas so much that I want it to be 4 months long. :( But January is a great month and I have set many goals for myself regarding my spiritual walk and I know that God has my back and this will be a great year for me.

GEARS -I'm honored that my words would make it on to your fridge to remind you. :)

Stephanie - I go with the flow in that way. If a warm front makes me feel like spring cleaning in January, I do it. Course, I can use all the motivation I can get to clean!

Hi Rachel,

We were having some Awesomely warm days here in Maine last week,so much so that when I pulled the vacuum out to tidy up the parlor before a friend came over for a visit, I found myself doing a SPRING CLEAN! LOL. Joseph my husband kept reminding me that Spring is still a few months off but I think my "cleaning clock" got a bit confused! The deceiving weather was my purposeful push!Are we into Spring yet???? LOL.

Blessings~~~
