Kate I loved you on TV but your words are almost “bigger” because it gives my mind an opportunity to expand on them. Thank you!

It’s the time to relax with a warm coffee, tea, or cocoa and blanket and stare out the window while the deer stare back wondering when you’ll get up from your cozy couch and give them breakfast. Me? It’s time to put the long underwear, sweats and down coat on and unleash the Kubota from the barn and get that long driveway plowed. lol. After all tomorrow is Monday and the UPS and Fed Ex folks deserve a safe driveway to come down to deliver whatever it is I ordered the other day on Amazon.

Cheers to you Kate. Hope all is well. Miss you at 4.

It is not because it is January, it is a winter thing. Doesn't feel the same south of the equator. Apart from the exhaustion of recovering from the previous year!

I'm enjoying your articles. I am familiar with your time in Albany. My son was a co-worker.

Today I cried on my way to work, at work, and on my way home. I don't hate my work. But it's Blue Monday, is what I realized just now. Winters are for nobody and if winter was a person, I'd hope they'd die, and I will die on this hill (with you - good to have company).

This feels right. The New Year does seem to compel me to drop the hammer on goals and resolutions to get ahead, to live life, to kickstart the new fill-in-the-blank. But it’s like trying to start a marathon — or even just fold some laundry — when you’re hangry and exhausted.

I so enjoy your company! Thank you for allowing me to be present with you.

Amen, Kate. Where's the wool throw and a good movie to get me past the foggy cold outside? Curl up, laugh, get absorbed in something interesting and screw the resolutions until those green shoots dare to show themselves again.

I agree with you wholeheartedly. Maybe, if we take the time to rest and reset ourselves , then and only then can we propel ourselves forward to make possible changes.

Completely logical! Even my own January birthday can’t rouse me from my own January hibernation, which begins immediately - on the 1st, possibly the most doldrums day of the year. Sure I celebrate I can still get up in the morning (I am no whippersnapper) and resolve to meet the day. But Spring, now that’s the stuff!

This is the first winter, I have slowed a wee bit. I will get out and take some more pictures, but I have been restoring and resting my body, this year is going to be one heck of a ride and I want to be ready. All the best to you Kate.
