Start The Year Off Fine?

I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels this way…When will January END?!?!  I’m as annoyed with this month as I am with news relating to Charlie Sheen and his antics.  Each year I fall into the post-Christmas, pre-February blahs as do many people crossing the days off this 31 day month.  Who planned this? 
January comes in with fireworks, balls dropping and confetti, signifying change, excitement and new beginnings.  And it’s still here!  Not a lot has changed, the excitement has dwindled, and weeks later I’m still waiting for my new beginning.  January should have been the short month.  Let’s trade a few days with February and get the blahs over with faster.  I’m sure the ancient Roman’s would agree with me.  What would it really harm? 

Caesar: “We were hoping to have the aqueducts finished by the end of January, but it’s already the 23rd and tomorrow is February 1st!  I guess we won’t have running water, but I certainly don’t feel blah!”

I guess we’ll never know. 

I do know this, that once this month is over, I am anticipating a very fast four months to follow, and before I know it I’ll be back home wondering where the time went and wishing it was January again.  It’s such a vicious cycle.  For now, I will keep crossing off my days and counting down until the blahs dissipate. 

Oh look, Charlie Sheen is in the headlines again.  Blah.
