Dear Me

Dear Me;

I hope you read this in May. You see you made it! It was hard, winter always is, you know that by now. It wasn’t different than any other year. You always falter and come undone in winter. It is important for you to remember that January girl! You need to take the steps now, to prevent her from returning. Now that the days are longer and you aren’t sitting in your recliner, go and see about her. Winter will return and that will not change. Dark days are not for you!

I know you feel great right now, hands in the dirt, the spring drives! Getting outside, hikes, a little chilly, but the birds are singing. Dreams of summer, just around the corner! Beach pass is bought, it is cheaper before the long weekend. Probably have a few overnighters completed!

Smiling while I write about it. Rolling in the memories of it, promise of summer! It all feels better after winter. No more pretending, genuinely happy! That January girl has no place here! You can not get rid of January, but you can fix January girl!

Work on you, to last the whole year! Your empathy can’t stretch big enough in the winter. You can’t carry the world when your foundation has holes! Best time to fix the foundation is when the weather gets better! This is your point of reference, take note.
