January

January is the hardest month of the year for me. By this time I am tired of the cold, tired of the snow, tired of the drab, grey days. I know that a day is what you make of it, but all of these factors make it really hard to feel cheery. It is this time of year, every year, that the spark to move to a less dreary climate is reignited. My desire to migrate south is strong but it seems impossible. It's hard to pick up and leave when there are more factors keeping me here than the single one pushing me to move. My friends and family keep me here... I stay so I can be close to them and continue my relationships. I wish I could convince them all to come with me; I think I will work on that. It's no biggie to uproot your family, find a new job, find a new place to live and move, right? Ha! I wish...

So, in the meantime my goals are to:
-Not get depressed
-Go tanning because it helps my mood whether or not it's good for my skin
-Plan and look forward to fun things to do
-Stay warm
-Start exercising more often

And... I'm counting down the days until our trip to Capo Beach... 11 weeks = 77 days

California, I'll see ya soon:)
