Photo by Darren Nunis on Unsplash Hello lovelies! Happy MARCH! I’m not the biggest fan of February so I’m happy to be moving along into the next month of the year. I will say I was pleasantly surprised by how non-meh this February has felt. It wasn’t until the last week or so that I felt the bored lethargy of the weather settle in and feel like I had little energy to do my normal escapades. I voluntarily woke up early on a Saturday and ran a 5k in the cold for a good cause last weekend. I did not, however, plunge in to the freezing Columbia river like some of my colleagues did. The rest of this last week and weekend can be characterized as “slow”. My to do lists have been almost non-existent (that's a first), and I’ve been happily enjoying more stillness. Usually when I feel like this, I’m judgmental toward myself - why are you being so lazy? But it has been wonderful to stop those thoughts in their tracks and give myself grace. It won’t last, it never does. And yes, I would like another cupcake and watch another episode of Grand Designs. Also, you’ll be pleased to know that I have owned a basil plant for 2.5 weeks and it is thriving. For those who don’t know, I have a horrible green thumb, which is a shame because I fantasize about having my own fruit and vegetable garden some day. So far so good on my basil plant. We had a lot of firsts for our pup Baci this month. First time going to Java Hound for a “Yappy Hour” where dogs can come socialize and sip (read: messily devour) a puppuccino (goats milk with treats). First time going to a puppy social hour today - thanks for the recommendation Brooklynn! First weekend without Brian while he went skiing with his dad. How are your new years resolutions? Are you slowing down or speeding up? Craving sunshine or feeling unphased? Enjoy the rest of the newsletter!
