We made it to February! (After 101 days of January!)
I know we are still in lockdown and I agree, this is the most challenging lockdown of them all.
The days are dark and long, the weather has been lovely and sunny one minute, to high winds, heavy rain and snow the next. The uncertainty of when lockdown is going to ease and when we can see family and friends again is still unknown. The thought of planning anything or looking forward to events is dwindling. The dreaded thought that next month will be a year since the first lockdown start is frightening.
GOOD NEWS…
As of 1st February 2021, 9.1 million people have received their first vaccine dose! More vaccines are on order and its looking more likely that the vaccine will be offered to the top 4 priority groups by mid-February which is great news.
ALSO…
Here are 3 really good reasons to feel optimistic about February:-
1.The days will keep getting longer.
By the end of the month the sun will rise before 7am and set around 6pm!
2. The first signs of spring will appear.
Daffodil and crocuses will begin pushing through the earth, buds on the trees and birdsongs are becoming more present!
3. There are some fun days to celebrate.
Pancake day, galentines day, valentines day.
4. And a bonus – the calendar of February 2021 is so satisfising!
Starting a new month on a Monday but also finishing the month of a Sunday!
You are not alone in thinking 2021 has not been the fresh start you had hoped and thought it would be but REMEMBER….
You can handle whatever life throws at you today!
