‘The effect of having other interests beyond those that are domestic works well. The more one does, sees, feels and the more one is able to do the better. The end result is a more genuine appreciation of fundamental things like home, love and understanding companionship. ~Amelia Earhart.

‘January Blues’ or the ‘January Wall’ are expressions sometimes used during these early days of January. Trying to get motivated and energetic during these days is a task that many find difficult. The task for us is to get out of such a rut and begin to make something happen for us. It is about widening the horizon in terms of things to do. It’s about taking up some new interest, doing something we have put off for a while, getting out for a walk and enjoying the beauty of nature that God has given to us in abundance. We ask God to bring balance into our lives in all we do, as we begin our journey through 2008.
