Okay... here we are in the middle of April. A new season has recently started and slowly (not sure about surely, but slowly...) we're heading toward nice weather. Friends and neighbors are coming out of hibernation and the grass is indeed turning greener.
At the turn of the new year I decided to make a list of things I wanted to accomplish, do, focus on, "fix", finish, start, etc... I enjoyed listing my goals and it seems to have made me more aware of what I'm doing and where I'm going. I've crossed off the items that I've accomplished. I've made good progress on some of the on-going items and have definitely already failed at a few (flossing regularly, cleaning the inside of the car weekly)!!! I'm excited to see what will happen the next few months...
