My February New Year!

I have planned a big goal examination.  It has not gotten done.  I have ordered & am waiting for the arrival of the book, Your Best Year Yet!  I have decided due to my cold and wanting to work through this book, that I will declare February 2, my NEW, New Year's!  I should have book by then!  I should also have all my goals sorted out!  I am using February 2, for several reasons.  I like having a holiday marker & while I considered Ghandi Day, Groundhog's Day & Imbolc felt more right for this goal setting event.

I have always liked Groundhog's Day.  My family was driving through Pennsylvania and I made my Mom drive an extra 40 miles to visit Punxsatawney & Phil.  He lives in the library window during the Summer.  My kids considered this one of my flakier adventures, but I notice they always mention seeing him in February.

The movie Groundhog's Day, is about doing things over until you get them right.  I bought this movie and watch it yearly.  I think there is a really important life lesson in this movie.

Imbolc, a Celtic Pagan holiday that falls halfway between the Winter & Spring Solstice falls on February 2, also.  It is the start officially of Spring - a time to put a spring into my step & heart!

I will be spending the next few weeks getting ready for my NEW, New Year's. I am feeling comfortable with my decision.  There was a time that missing the deadline would have upset me so much that I might have given up.  I have finally learned to roll with the punches.  So CHEERS!!!  Here is to  making life changes daily, one bit at a time
