January THE tooth

January THE tooth

Coming off of an intense Holiday period is always challenging.

The Christmas-New Year Season seems to always be one fraught with a lot of BIG Energies both, pre-holiday (building) and post-holiday (depleted). We were fortunate to have a house full of guests this year and that energy combined with tons of food and fun were enough to put me over the top. Also, I was only able to make two yoga classes in the past two weeks which also contributes to my feelings of being a bit  “out of sync” today. Oh well, the truth is I would not have it any other way.

 2012 was a very interesting year to say the least.

It started out with a calendar full of plans and expectations but ended with a review of “Holy Smokes – ALL of THAT in one YEAR !!.......Wow and we’re still standing !

January THE tooth was  generally the date when I would begin cementing all the plans I had been formulating over the previous quarter and add action steps to, to ensure “objectives” were met and  missions accomplished. In fact I woke up this morning with a sense of urgency toward just this end only to realize that the only things that were urgent were out in the kitchen yukking it up with Edy while she made yet another batch of French toast for growing bodies.

 During the holiday were treated to mild temperatures and body surfing for a bit until a very intense winter storm came in while on Galveston Island. It was a doozie !  

Gale force winds, driving  rain and continually dropping temperatures turned pleasant to uncomfortable quickly as the high pressure frontal system moved in and through. The next day we saw the damage the storm did to the surrounding area but the beach was swept clean and an unusually low tide made it look like  the “Merry Maids” had been there during the night to clean the entire length of beach. Beaches are a perfect place to see just how “Things change”.

 Holidays are also perfect times to reconnect to witness other such changes.

We are so fortunate we enjoy each other and actually like being together for days at a time. Very fortunate!

 Looking back at 2012 I must say that it was a “doozie” in a long line of “doozies”.

We heard a gent say the other day that 2012 was the pre-launch count down to a major exploration adventure that was planned for 2013. Well I’m ready………10,9,8,7,6,…
