Due to reasons I can no longer remember I am posting this almost a week after I wrote it. Hey Ho, life happens 🙂
Me in January 2015
I can hardly believe that it is January 22nd today which is a remarkable statement from one who, in past years has struggled terribly with the January Blues.
On the first of January I feel like I am standing at the bottom of an extremely high mountain and can’t imagine ever getting to the halfway mark let alone the top. This is madness.
Who put the mountain there? Me
Who made me stand at the bottom? Me
Who makes me think I have to climb it? Me
Or climb anything? Me
This January I decided, or, made an intention that I will not even think about starting over. It’s that phrase isn’t it? ‘Starting over’ It doesn’t suit me.
January is just another month.
Yes it’s cold, but I have the heating on
And I have a new hat & coat for when I venture outside
Yes its wet but so are many months here in the UK
It might snow! Good, snow = photo opportunities
We have work I can think about a holiday
I am able to spend time on my Mac
Time with my blog and
I am probably the last person in the world to have learnt about Instagram.
My friend PrairieJill has been helping me get started and one or two folks have kindly pressed ‘follow’
I am off for a weekend away tomorrow. Just me, on a course to learn about Bookbinding. It was a Christmas gift from my lovely and ever thoughtful husband.
Me in January with a new haircut, more feathers and a positive outlook, Oh! and I’m trying to get up earlier!
I am ikibana_banana on instagram. Why? All the good names were gone.
bookbinding sounds fun and I life the sound of more feathers – here’s to finding ways to beat our blues
Fab post and I love the instagram name! 🙂
Great photo..and yes, January is just another month…
Welcome to instagram…
I am not yet “into” instagram, so please dont feel you are the last. I’ve only just bought “the” phone, now I need to learn how to use it. When I have I shall find and follow you. Happy February, almost. Joy x x x
Sounds like it’s been a good January! Have a wonderful time on your bookbinding course.
PS Glad I’ve been able to help you with Instagram.
So, that’s who you are! Off to check follow in Instagram. I’ve seen you there, but didn’t follow through! Another lovely photo; have a fab weekend. Looking forward to seeing what you create.
These are just beautiful, Miriam, and definitely worth getting up early for!
Have a wonderful weekend, my friend. xo.
It was a nice surprise to see you (and your lovely images) popping up on Instagram. I wanted Staring at the Sea as my IG name, when I joined, but that was taken. It then occurred to me, a couple of weeks ago, that if I put an underscore between the two t’s in the middle I could have it. The added bonus being it’s more obvious what it says!
