February

In the past, February has been a very depressing time for me. The entire fall season, my favorite, is long past. The holidays, to include my January birthday, are over. Valentine's Day is something to look forward to, if for nothing else to help the girls write out their Valentine cards. I found a website, http://magicalholidayhome.com/ , that has a number of "countdowns", one of which is for Valentine's Day. Without going into too much detail, the website gave me ideas to keep busy up to that day. This year I think my spousal unit and I will go out to eat and make a special night of it. Elevate the date to an "almost holiday", enough to fool my psyche into getting me half-way through February.

I have talked to others who feel the same as I do about February. One of those persons gave me a great idea as to how to fill in the second half of the month. She takes the entire month and goes through all her closets, organizing and cleaning out the abysses. I now have something to look forward to- to keep me busy, and at the same time will use the discards in my first garage sale of the season.
