Sam and Friends BookI'm just curious if anybody else has their own intepretations on what a year is like for them.
I know according to the calendar, January 1 marks the beginning of a new year, and according to Mother Nature, spring marks the beginning of new life, etc, but do those really apply to you? If not, how do you figure it out for yourself? What's the yearly cycle like for you?
For me, I feel that September is like being "born again", for me, that's when things start becoming more enjoyable, the air seems fresher, life seems brighter, it's like it's safe for you to crawl out of whatever hole you may have previously been in.
October, November, and December is like the "growing period", it's when everything just keeps getting better and better, and what makes it really awesome is that it's always predictable, yet unpredictable: October and November especially when fall arrives, you know the leaves are going to change color, but you never know what color is going to dominate the foliage around you, one year red may stand out more, the next may be yellow, etc. Plus, the holidays always bring out such joy and festiveness, especially in my family, we LOVE our holidays: Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas... it just helps make this three-month-period the greatest part of the year, and I have to say, this past year was the greatest and happiest holiday period I ever experienced. Life is just really a happy and bright thing during this time.
January and February and on most occasions March are a stable period, not much changes, but it doesn't really matter too awful much, because it's still an enjoyable time of year, there's still a little bit of a spring in your step, and life in general is still treating you well.
April and especially May is what I consider to be the beginning of the end... the change is in the air, but you know it's not a good change, and you find yourself wishing it would just hurry up and get here so you don't have to keep anticipating it (not in a good way) any longer, but at the same time, you still want to hang onto those last good days while you can, because you know it's going to be a while until you see them again.
June, July, and August is like being in "limbo", or I'd even describe it as being like being in "purgatory"... not necessarily because of the heat (although that does play a factor), but more like it's being in a dark and ominous place that you're forced to stay in, whether you want to or not, until you can escape into September. August is particularly and arguably the worst of it, because it's such a long and dull month, it always seems like it takes forever to pass.
