Hello, January, We Need To Talk

I've been waiting up late for you, watching the clock like a featured film. Suspense waits no longer. Here you arrive at 12 am with a firework's bang. At this hour, this is your greeting? Hello, January, we need to talk.... I haven't seen you in months, and you come barging in. You come on so strong, but sometimes you can be so cold. You let me down last time you were here, like torrents of hail and snowy hills. Ah, snow can be fun, though, and you did warm me up with hot cocoa and a blanket. Thanks for your reviving comforts. What I'm trying to say is that I've missed you, and I forgive you. I hope you can forgive my past as well. I'm sorry about my negative attitude and my disorganization. We should go on walks more and eat healthy meals together. I promise I'll be kinder, and I'll try to appreciate all the good you offer me. Can we now start anew?

I love this Juliet- right from the title, we need to talk - signaling the seriousness of the conversation. Very well written - honest and perceptive. I also love the question at the end - I can almost hear January answering 'YES!'. Well done!

I loved this read! The title alone had me hooked and made me smile. We do need to remember though that every month is a chance for US to make it right and be positive about each day gifted to us. Excellent job! =D
