Journey into January

January is a month of new beginnings, new goals, and for

 some, new words. Meanings are meticulously scrutinized, 
before one dedicates themselves to exhibiting, executing
 and emulating their essence.

Pretty serious business, when you consider that
this ONE word is exclusively selected out of
the 1,019,729.6 that make up the English language,
to govern your actions for 365 days! 

This single slogan is supposed to guide one towards  
that anticipated ambition, pave the way to personal
 growth, and ultimately, deliver definite success.

I don't know about you, but I would have a hard
time picking just one word to direct my deeds,

dictate my desires, or command my cravings!

 

Restricting myself to a one word motto to motivate 
my every move, would cause yours truly to go into 
an anxiety induced coma! It just doesn't jive with me,
since I have always been overly generous with 
my descriptions, (as my lovely, seventh grade English 
teacher, Ms. Soberman, once politely pointed out),
 'You are too flowery', she said.

 It wouldn't be long, before the miracle of caffeine would 
come to my rescue, and wake me from monosyllabic meltdown!

Today, with a bit of luck,

 plenty of prayers,

and a bounty of beautiful words to inspire me,
I am 'packed' and ready to set off on
my journey into January, and the new year, 
hoping for good health, the love of family and friends,
and a sense of adventure, along the way.

I'm so happy you're here to see me off.
