February is hard work. I have known this for a number of years. People say that January is a depressing month, but I quite like January. It is a haven of peace and quiet after the busyness of Christmas, New Year and 2 family birthdays. It is a month to enjoy the fact that the house seems to be bigger because there are no decorations up. It is a time to enjoy doing nothing and not to feel guilty about it.
But February is a different matter. It is still dark in the mornings. Usually it is wet and when it isn't wet it is snowy. And it is always cold. I don't like cold weather. And the summer still feels like a long way away. In February I just get on with things. I go to work and I come home and I feel tired because I need some sunshine and I just want to sit and watch the tv in the evenings because I have no energy.
The only good thing about February is the the next month is March. And March is hopeful. The days start to get longer and spring is nearly here. But I still have to get through the rest of February!
