Maybe it's because the school calendar is so deeply ingrained, or maybe
it's because I'm a little bit Jewish, but I always feel like the New
Year really begins in September. There's a seasonal change, a calendar
change, a shift in our daily schedules and generally it feels like a
great time to turn over a new leaf of one variety or another.
January 1st, however, feels like a
less-good time to make a resolution. You're exhausted from the holidays,
it's cold and dark and a little depressing outside and all you want to
do is hunker down for the next couple of months and come out on the
other side without enduring some sort of mental breakdown. It just
doesn't feel like the best time to take up flossing.💣
So
what about if, this year, we just plow through this annual, ill-timed
transition? Instead of apprehensively stepping into January, hoping for
looser pants and fuller bank accounts and tidier homes, let's leap into
the New Year with a comfortable amount of exactly the same. Carry over
the chaos, the calories and the bull crap! And take comfort in the fact
that if something needs to change or evolve, which it likely doesn't,
you've got another 8 months to get it together. Happy New Year! - BLUE Q
Like the crooked man who lived in a crooked house, it was the characterful, not to say skew-whiff, nature of the house that first drew him there: ‘It works quite well with the higgledy-piggledy of my collecting.’
