It’s a good thing i don’t easily get discouraged. Or I should say it’s a good thing i don’t quit easily.

I think a lot of people look at January as time to start fresh. A new beginning. A time to get off on a good foot and let the momentum carry you upward the rest of the year so that you have the best year ever.

The way my years start,  If I was one to easily quit I wouldn’t make it past January each year. For some reason it’s been such a bummer month the past few years.

New Years Day is always fine. It’s usually the end of a week long celebration of family and friends that begins with Christmas. Last week we had a beautiful white Christmas. We was able to have a nice lunch with the extended family before the snow started in the early afternoon. By the time the night fell, the ground was covered with a thick blanket of snow which shut down festivities that night and most of the next day. So in effect, it extended Christmas almost into New Years.

That was all good.

But by the second day of January the month had already gone bad. I returned home that evening to find my girl cat, Lil’ Kitty, was missing. My cats had been bottled up for a few days because of the snow so I decided to let them out that morning figuring they had cabin fever.

My tom cat will stray from home now and again but Lil’ Kitty always stays close to home. I knew immediately something was wrong. In the back of my mind I wanted to believe she was hunkered down in a neighbors garage or shed and I held out hope for about a week.

I get way too attached to my pets. This is what i was going through.

Jan. 4, 2013 – I usually try to be a happy person but it sure is hard at times. Like last night, when I woke up in the middle of the night hearing what I think is my lost kitty meowing outside my window. As I walk to the back door I fill with excitement when see what appears to be her silhouette  on the porch. As I open the door and turn on the porch light  my excitement immediately turns to confusion. It appears as if the light has chased away a shadow that had played a cruel trick on my mind. In disappointment I return to the bedroom and lay back down.

Again, I start to hear faint “meows”. As I focus harder and harder on the sound I start to realize the “meow” is a slight whistling noise being made by my nostril as I inhale when breathing. That moment, the moment i fully understand the reality, that is one of those time I find it hard to happy.

I never saw Lil’ Kitty again.

By this time I had came down with a severe head cold/mild flu. I’m sure partly out of stress. And partly because of the time of year. Regardless, it slowed me down greatly for about a week. By the time I was getting back to speed, my gf had become ill, which i’m sure i infected, and I spent about another week helping her out as much as I could.

At some point while all this was going on, I went to the animal shelter and adopted another female kitty, Lil’ Sis. I like for my Tom to have a companion and he likes having one too. He just doesn’t like having to warm up to new ones. So it was very frustrating going through the typical week of hissing and growling and slapping until he finally figured out she was not there to take away from his quality of life but to enhance it.

Everything was not all doom and gloom, We had a second snow day in January. It came down on a Tuesday and was gone by Wednesday so it was very brief. But the peace of a cold snowy winter night when all is quiet was very welcomed and is something to be treasured.
