March is officially here! HOW!? I saw a funny thing online a few weeks ago that said, "crazy how its already March again, when March was just last month." Doesn't that feel so true?? This time last year things were starting to get a little scary, but we were still more or less going about our lives completely normally - it feels like it was just yesterday, and forever ago all at once!
I'm super excited it's March. I don't know what it is about February, but if I had to rank the months, it would be #12 of the 12. ;) Its not really spring, not really winter. Here in Oregon its usually a dark and rainy a lot of the month. January usually feels like a downtime month coming off of the holidays, and that feels good to get your house put back together, things organized, and detox from Christmas baking for a second. And then February comes and it isn't really spring yet, but you're over winter. Just feels like its not here or there, to me at least. But now, its the start of a new month, on a Monday no less, AND the sun is shining here, and its AMAZING! It can be dark and rainy for long stretches here in Eugene, and its not for the faint of heart. But I think it makes us appreciate the sun all that much more, and its incredible what a day, or even afternoon, of sunshine does for our city as a whole! People are in better moods, things seem happier, and there is so much more optimism out there. LOVE IT!
Starting this month off, on a sunny day, has me filled with motivation and optimism. This is going to be a good month - I can feel it! I've been working on my March Goals/To Do list, and I have a section of things that I need to get done, but have been putting off (please tell me we all have those things we drag our feet to do??), and as I wrote them on my checklist, I'm actually excited to get them done! Have to ride this wave of enthusiasm while it lasts. haha. One of them is to tidy up the garage. It is seriously impressive to me how much stuff can pile up in almost no time at all. HOW!? Todd and I cleaned it out mid summer last year, and its already bad again. UGH. I also need to tackle our "empty room". ;) One of our spare rooms was quickly named The Empty Room because that's exactly what it was...an empty room! We didn't have anything to go in it. Well, somehow, despite the mess in the garage (you would think that's where allll the stuff has gone), the empty room has filled up with stuff I wasn't in the mood to deal with before, and has quickly deserved a name change to "the jam-packed-watch-where-you-step room". UGH again. Where does all this stuff come from?? Anyways, a big cleaning/purging/organizing is in the works for this month, and I cannot wait! Maybe I'll even show some before and after pics - or at least some afters...the befores might be too embarrassing. ;)
I hope everyone has a wonderful March, and that this month is filled with hope, inspiration, and all the motivation to get things done! I am itching for a new season, fresh start, and SUNSHINE, and so far, we're off to a great start. :) There are also some beautiful things coming in, and that always helps! I can't wait to show off all the new arrivals, and hope you'll be just as in love with them as I am. PJ Salvage just got here, and I want it all! The blue Flick of a Brush pants and just happy, especially with the crisp white top with multi color sun rays embroidery...its just so cheerful! The modal set is SUPER soft and the yellow makes you smile. The black stars set is fun too, and shorts - that means nicer days are just ahead, and I can't wait. In the meantime, bring on March - I'm ready to make the most of it!!
