Of course, it brings a treadmill reunion while Joyce Meyer simultaneously kicks me in the spiritual butt most days, and occasionally The Biggest Loser motivates my physical one on my walk instead. One way or another, I'm motivated for the rest of the day after my morning walk!
It brings trying new Pinterest recipes (and cleaning out the freezer at the same time) with this delicious Cream Cheese Swirl Zucchini Banana Bread.
You can find the recipe HERE.
It brings watching the cows and births of baby calves on the "cow channel."
It brings time to read Giants in the Earth, a novel I somehow missed reading before! It is scheduled reading for Well Read Mom, and admittedly pretty heavy content matter for January, but I enjoyed it nonetheless and look forward to discussing it at the Well Read Mom Conference at the end of this month.
This month also tends to bring us extra memories of close loved ones who have gone before us. All of our grandparents who have passed away have either died or had their funerals in January. We also remember especially our nephew and cousin Luke who's birthday and date of his passing are both in January.
And so we begin (and are almost halfway through!) another January.
It all makes up the most bittersweet of the months.
Perhaps Giants in the Earth was an excellent choice for a January read after all.
