Joy-filled January/

As the cliche goes, January hastened so fast and now it is almost the end. Perhaps it was the cold that filled air, perhaps it was the quiet of post Christmas rush, perhaps it was the busyness of my two girls as they threw their noses back to work, but me, I enjoyed my garden, and cleaning my closet, rehabilitating my old kitchen, sorting clothes for donation, sleeping just before midnight and waking up before dawn, either to bring or fetch one of the girls to and from work. In between, I get to watch my movies, and sixty seconders on facebook videos. With my canine Cotton for company. It's a joy-filled January. NB: the Coffeebean Planner is my daughter's. I still wonder what to write in such, all my planners got filled only the first few days of the year, and thrown without secrets to behold.

Exhausting, true.Standstill traffic could sometimes be disconcerting, especially at night when the lights glare and motorbikes come crisscrossing left and right. Otherwise, watering my garden is soothing enough to invigorate me for the next day.

@just4him Yes. Happiness is a mind state. I find good activities that give me joy.

What was your New Year's resolution? Now that the end of January is approaching, have you stuck to it?

Nope. I don't make resolutions. Chances are nothing will get resolved. I'm sorry.

@Spontaneo January 31st was a memorable love month eve. Our perfect cone Mayon Volcano in Albay, Philippines, spewed lava, under the Super Blue Blood moon. It was a sight to behold. I love spring, too, with the flowers abloom. Techinically, in my country, we only have the dry and the wet seasons/

Yes, of course, February is the love month and lovers will be busy falling and staying in love. I will have amusing moments watching and laughing. Ha ha. If I can, and if it doesn't look rude, I will take snapshots. Ha ha again,
