I'm a planner, so naturally at this time of year I'm addicted to calendars. I love writing in those squares all of my loved one's birthdays, and considering the possiblities of vacations, parties, new things to learn, do and add to our agenda. The calendar is also intriguing to me, because it contains one thing I fear greatly: uncertainty. My inner being wants to sit on my Mom's couch, covered in a blanket, cozy and warm and safe, like I did for most of the week after Christmas enjoying the familiarity of family. But after a week of that, it's time to look at the blankness of the months ahead with anticipation and excitement, knowing that taking a step out of that comfy blanket assures adventure and the beginning of new things ahead. (even if it's also really cold out there!) January is synonomous with visionary. Everyone is looking forward to what is to come, and trying to stay warm at the same time.
"I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
