Looking back on 2009

This is the month of January named after the God Janus. Who was two faced; one looking toward the future and one looking back at the past. January is a month of reflection over what should be left behind in 2009 and what to plan and look forward too in 2010.

Though there is strong temptation to just snuggle and hibernate through this month, to burst out in the month of February when the sun makes his travel higher into the sky and the flowers begin to brave blooming from month Earth.

We must be strong and begin sowing seeds in this fertile month. Start the ball rolling and keep nudging until it can roll alone into the next month and so forth. We must reflect and take note of this we wish to leave behind in 2009 and keep those seeds we wish to continue with us for 2010.

For me I am leaving behind those negative thoughts of being jobless, body image and general heartache behind. I am taking with me, the love, friendships, prosperity and new craft talents of 2009.
In 2010 I am planning to open my Etsy shop, to keep working where I am (as a long-term temp) and enjoying those friends and meeting new ones. Also the big plan to get rolling (still need to get on with it) is my planning to work and live in Canada for 2011. If myself and Ash enjoy it we'll plan to live there permanently.

Other things to look forward to are my Hedgewitch year, all the sabbats and to perhaps do one stall of my goodies in London craft fair.

What do you have planned? I hope you have a wonderful January and your plans for this year are prosperous!

Blessed be,

Evening Breeze
