It’s the first Monday of the month, time to welcome March and set some intentions . . .
It’s a mixed bag of a month . . .
We can still get significant snow, but it doesn’t last long.
I still have flannel sheets on the bed, but sometimes it’s too warm for that.
Snow drops and crocus are blooming and daffodil shoots are growing, but actually gardening feels like a long way off still.
The days are longer, but it’s still too cold for cocktails on the deck.
I will welcome March with excitement and anticipation, honoring my longing for spring while also staying present and grounded in the here and now.
I may be a tad less optimistic than you. I read that last bit as “grounded in the here and the SNOW.” Which is fairly accurate for March where I live. Ha, ha.
That’s the best way to welcome March, Carole. It’s such a fickle, surprising month! You just never know what will happen next . . . XO
We’ve had a few teaser days and a few late afternoons where we could sit on the patio, but lately it’s been too chilly and windy for that. I did ditch the flannel sheets the other week though!
Cocktails on the deck! Here’s to March and the wonderful other side of it!
An excellent reminder, Carole! Stay IN the moments! XO
To me, March means that we’re a bit closer to spring and enjoying more light!
My pergola lights aren’t coming on until 5:45 (next week that’ll be 6:45), there’s reason to open the blinds in the bedroom when I get up for work (i.e., I can see stuff), and I drove home from work the other day without my auto headlights coming on! It’s coming… and you’ve got the right attitude!! xo
I hope you’ll see some more flowers popping up soon — everything is starting to bloom here, even though it’s a bit early. I always feel like March is when we’re reminded that winter will eventually end.
It is hard to stay grounded in the here and now when spring beckons … and starts to BLOOM! those snow drops are enchanting!
