Sometimes January seems like a nice fresh start, and sometimes it just seems like the Monday of months. We got a little of both and I’m ready for February.

So, on this last Friday of January, I hope you can spend some time sitting and enjoying a cup of coffee, tea or hot chocolate and spinning through some link love. Sitting and enjoying are key; walking and scrolling is not what we are going for today. Happy Friday. I hope yours is wonderful!

I never go to the movies, or even watch movies at home. Sometimes I feel like going to the movies is a waste of time that I could be using more productively (problem number one: I don’t know how to relax), but I also have a hard time justifying paying for a movie in theaters when I could stream Netflix on my computer for a small fraction of the price. Millennial problems. But, with so many well-reviewed movies out right now and the announcement of the Oscar nominees this week, I really want to see some of this year’s good movies! La La Land, Hidden Figures, Lion, Manchester by the Sea – which are worth seeing?!

Along with not knowing how to relax, I also overthink so many things! I know this is a problem, and one that so many people fall into, so I love this post about how to stop overthinking small issues. It helps determine the “small stuff” that you shouldn’t be sweating.

It was amazing to see SO MANY PEOPLE come together, across cultures, ages, genders, races, even nationalities, over central issues. While we are in a time of huge division, the march brought so much hope and love to my week, and I hope that can continue. [The march was just the beginning. To continue to make a difference, educate yourself on who your representatives are, contact your members of congress (the Indivisible Guide gives great tips on this from former congressional staffers, and even provides a call script, and get involved in local town halls or organizations you are passionate about.

I wish I could accomplish half of the things in these two articles: how to never run out of ideas again and 20 life-changing habits. They seem to go with the January theme of fresh starts and new goals and routines, but February is just as good a time to start!

Have a wonderful Friday and a lovely weekend, friends.
