I can say, looking out the window, that the snow has been melting fast...even with the small snow shower yesterday. At this point, I am ready for spring. Even though I love winter and snow, I am less confident of staying safe when venturing outside...guess that's a common fear in older folks like me!
I'm looking forward to seeing my first robin and those early flowers like snowdrops. And given that this is March, it's also time to plant seeds to get a start on the garden.
That's actually my main intention for this month. That as well as taking a look at my spring/summer clothes. I really do not have much in the way of light weight clothing so I may need a few trips to some thrift stores! Have you any intentions set for this month? Actually, can you believe that it's already the third month in 2026?
So, how did you do with February's intentions? I'd like to say that I finished all of them but, alas, I did not. I am still working on sorting and packing the decorations. It's about 60%-70% done so you can guess what my plans are for today.
I did manage to get SnowWhite inspected in time but I still need to get the oil changed...that's a tomorrow activity. And although I have gathered all the information I need to file my taxes, I didn't get that done either. So it's kind of a bust on the three intentions...but that's the good thing about setting intentions rather than goals. I did work on all three, just did not get them finished...so the intentions were and are still good.
By the way, did you see that there's a new challenge for the month? It's that dreaded activity...exercise. I like to think of it as movement and the challenge is to move specifically for 15 minutes, five days a week. Things like walking, a good spring activity, or running, or biking, or dancing, or...just plain moving! It will help get you ready for those summer activities!
Did you know that March is 'National Craft Month'? I didn't. Some of the suggestions are to: Try a new craft; Attend a craft event; Take a craft class either in person or online; Join a craft challenge.
Are you a crafter...any type from quilting to embroidery to junk journals to quilling, etc., etc., etc? I love creating my fabric wall hangings, junk journals and seasonal decorations. If you've never been a crafter, try crafting something...anything that appeals to you. And if the first craft you try isn't enjoyable, try another...and maybe even another.
Crafting something enjoyable is good for you...it reduced stress and anxiety, it actually is good for you both mentally and emotionally.
I have created another page for the 'slow making' journal. This one is for embroidery of sorts. The first page...
And inside...
