FEBRUARY'S HEALTHY HABIT:  Exercise -- a dismal failure!  Life became so busy with so many snow days for grandchildren and with appointments for my dad, and then I got a cold.  Our road is not safe to walk on due to ice underfoot and high snowbanks which obscure visibility, so I can't say that I even went for a walk, other than parking at a distance at Walmart and the grocery store!

I am certainly hoping that March will be better as far as accomplishing my goals.
