to the winter season

As the year begins it’s slow wined down, I too begin to slow. I’d say I’m still motivated to get my work done, in finishing draft two, but it looks different this month so far. The holidays bring about a plethora of feelings and not all are comfy cozy. 

I’ll start my day loving and singing the praises of winter landscapes. But by the 7th gust of wind that stains my cheeks rosy I’m less agreeable to the winter season. With a mug of tea in hand I’ll be right back to ogling the snow. I guess you could say it’s an on-again off-again relationship. 

As the times tease me about almost changing I’ve begun to lose some patience. I’m not proud of it, just aware. You could say it’s not a cozy feeling on my part. 

I’ve come to an important realization, that I’m sure I’ve arrived at before, that this blog is more than the simple content I create. At the absolute least its my way of forcing accountability, without it I’m not sure I would have started writing a book. I write every week. Regardless of circumstances or attitudes I write something every week. 

So I have to say a quick thank you, for helping me to have one less reason to give up on my dreams. 

I’ve begun my sappy pondering about how this year has unfolded, and I’ll save them for a little later. But I can’t contain the fact that a few truly wonderful things have come about that I will be forever changed because of. 

My creative process always gets a little slow around Christmas. I end up wanting to spend time with my family more than creating. And I’ve got to say that’s perfectly alright, in fact I’d say its healthy. So as rest pulls on my leg like an impatient little kid I’ll bid you adieu for the time being.
