We should consider ourselves in the doldrums of winter. January is that type of month where the weather is so cold and also just a half way point. In the north, there is so much more winter to go.
Our mission is to keep warm in both spirit and body. To do this we can create the space in our homes to welcome excitement and hospitality. Let’s not forget, there is room in this time to pursue unique experiences at home or change up the routine. There are new mocktail brands to try, card games to play with someone else’s rules, or just adding enough layers to the bed to keep you from ever leaving. It’s probably time to dust off the book that’s been waiting on your list.
I’m inspired by these doldrums. I keep noticing the winter light in my home. I noticed how many cloudy days there are in winter and then how glorious the sun feels on those cloudless cold days. I noticed how to bring light into my space when the afternoon gets dark. And finally I’ve noticed how I could begin filling this space with more.
If ever there was an opportunity to do things a little differently I think it is in the month of January.
