March, I am so glad you are here. It hasn’t been anywhere near as treacherous a winter as last, but I am ready for spring. Spring and Autumn for me is where it is at. Mild weather, long walks, no extreme body reactions to the outdoors, just relaxed, wonderful and perfectly marvelous in every way!  And in March we have plans, oh yes. A Birthday to celebrate, St. Patrick’s Day funky glasses to wear, swimming lessons to start and a fun meet up with friends to be enjoyed. Yes, March, we have some lovely plans for YOU!

And since I’m finally getting my act together as we celebrate six months together, I really really need to get back to some SMART goals for each month. So for March, as we move from the foundation building we’ve been doing for the last 6 months to something more, we’re ready to mix up a few things and do a bit more! Goals for March…
