Ever caught yourself fantasizing about the empty space in your calendar in January? Ahhh..that month of crisp, grey days and hours wide open…
December, by contrast, feels like sweaty Christmas fair/fare (scratch and sniff to delete).
Mums, the good and the bad news is this: you wrap December – beautifully.
Picture yourself as the highest quality wrapping paper you’ve ever seen – that stuff you finger delicately at Paperchase at £3.50 a sheet, admiring its colour,pattern and exotic origins.
That’s you sweet sister, as you wrap yourself (no excess wasted) around –
- The 21 presents you thought-fully buy for nieces, nephews and godchildren
- The unmentionable commercial desires of your own offspring
- Your work life, choosing the very brightest bits of paper, gift tagged with whispered love, “I want more of you too xx”.
- Your children’s hearts, as they melt to sticky caramel with sugar and retail induced heat
- The needs of school FUND raising. Heads nod, heads bow, eyebrows raised, funds raised.
Meanwhile, if you have anything left to wrap yourself around your partner…I salute you. Wholeheartedly.
So you’ve done all that; what’s the bad news?
Stretch.
Because you’re naturally so well made, colourful and have a certain ‘give’ when pulled taut, it takes keen eyes to notice the ‘stretch’ from the outside. But you feel it.
And you’re longing for a place more spacious than your head under the pillow; a place to breathe; a place to consider the future. You’ve even wondered whether 2014 might be your year – your ‘time’ (at last??) to make that change in your family relationships, birth that business idea, take that small step, lead that movement boldly.
January brings possibility and newness..if we grab it. (otherwise the grey wins).
