Feeling a little blue? a little blah? a little under the weather? like this is the longest short month EVER? We’re just out of January, which was at least 243 days long 🙃 and I cannot wait until March arrives – this always signals that winter is over for me (psychologically, at least!)
February is made somewhat better because there is Valentine’s Day, which is always a bit of fun, then on Feb 28th, hubby and I will be married 20 years! 😍 I’ve been busy making a few plans to celebrate! 🥳 Only a few short months ago, hubby was being treated for cancer (ongoing) and we didn’t know what the future looked like, so we’re making more of an effort to recognize our milestones!
Anyway, I just wanted to say – you’re not alone. This time of year always brings sub-plan inducing super germs, freezing temps, vitamin D deficiency, indoor recess and the list goes on!
Luckily, I have the perfect solution to chase away those winter blues and ignite your enthusiasm again! Curious? 😜
