January ......the month of loss

Cant sleep so thought Id write. Its been on my mind a lot this past week and so I look forward to the fact that January is indeed almost over. January for years now seems to have been a month of tremendous loss for me. I suppose some might say its the way you see things, and while sure I suppose thats true, but for some reason it just seems that this month hasn't always had its best for me. In my reflective and rather sad state here are a few of the things that come to mind.
11 years ago the loss of a child
3 years ago realization of the loss of a marriage when served divorce papers
3 years ago loss of a dear friend
2 years ago house flooded (1st time)
1 year ago the loss of the kids kitten
Realization I had lost my head in another relationship that didnt turn out
Loss of many tears
I would guess that the loss of some hair could be attributed to this month of months.

I suppose even the loss of money when one considers that all of those bills that come this month right after Christmas

I was talking with someone tonight about this and a friend brought these quotes up

“If we deny love that is given to us, if we refuse to give love because we fear pain or loss, then our lives will be empty, our loss greater.”

"Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm" Winston Churchill
