January takes a while. We try to find the routine that was lost among the holiday bustle. We try to find the routine that is still lost among the sporadic snow days that are both sacred and frustrating.
It takes me half a month to realize that this, all of this, is the routine of January. We want so much to hurry into the new year with our resolutions and our ambitions. But January has a way of holding the reigns. Take it slowly. One step at a time. Pay attention to the changing world around you. This is all part of the routine.
