It rarely snows here in Athens, GA, and I couldn't believe how many people I heard complaining about the predicted snow in the forecast over the past week. We haven't had a good snow in years. I was so excited about the possible snow day! I used to be the kind of person that hated January. I hated the cold. I hated how long it felt. I hated how Christmas was over and spring wasn't here yet. I hated the dark, shorter days. I had a long list of complaints. I was a real winter grouch.
In 2024 I sought out to find joy in every month. I wanted to stop wishing my life away. I wanted to spend more time in nature. I wanted to be intentional with my time and focus. It didn't take long for me to develop a sweet sense of contentment with every season. I wanted to share a few things about January that I love. These things bring me joy, and this year I actually looked forward to January. On this beautiful snow day, it's hard to imagine how anyone with a warm home and food to eat can complain considering all the horrific things going on in the world. I want to encourage you to shift your mindset a bit when it comes to different seasons. I get it, it's hard to overlook the things you don't like. I used to be the person complaining about January! But I want to encourage you to be intentional to find the things about each month that bring you joy. It will truly change your perspective and life for the better!
