Midway through March

 Just taking a couple of minutes to put up a brief post to acknowledge this marvelous month of March!

I never did write a post about March goals, so here are some of my goals for March:

* Keep up with Flylady's homemaking zones of the week
* Get back to working through the "Make Room Challenge" from Make Room for What You Love
* Get together with my friend Jennifer and her children 
* Possibly have some of our younger friends over for a meal and fellowship
* Post in this blog as often as possible 
* Post in my Christmas blog as often as possible
* Continue planning for family birthday gifts and crafting any handmade ones
* Continue reading through the One-Year Chronological Bible
*  Continue with the book Fix Your Focus for my Sunday Scripture series
* Continue studying and preparing for my ladies' Sunday School class -- to start in a few weeks
* Continue through the wonderful Daily Grace Co. study of Habakkuk, Even If (this is intended to be a 3-week study; it has taken me months since I only work on it on Saturdays)
* Continue stocking my Etsy shop and continue selling vintage items
* Write at least 4 encouraging notes to friends and family
* Help and encourage my local daughter as I'm able
* Plan menus and begin food preparation for a ministry opportunity next week
* Plan meals with a greater emphasis on healthy eating
* Get back to memorizing the book of James
* Continue to help a widowed friend with the challenges of life in general
* Get to bed by 8:30 each night we are at home
* Drink enough water each day
* Continue with the habit of getting outdoors for the morning light
* Walk and/or exercise at least 4 times each week

HEALTHY HABITS FOR MARCH:  Drink more water/get more sleep/get more exercise/intermittent fasting/limit carbs/get morning light

It's been a few years since I put up a March archives post, so here are some older March posts for your perusal: 

Maple memories, from 2018, is all about sweet maple sugaring memories.

Chocolate Chai Tea Loaf is from 2019 and features a really yummy tea bread recipe.

In March 2020 I posted Encouragement for your day and these times -- still relevant.

A delightful getaway tells about a 2021 winter sojourn at a Maine Airbnb. 

In 2022, I wrote about Handy homemade helpers I use around the house.

For 2023, I chose a book review on the Gooseberry Patch book Grandma's Favorites.

And lastly, for 2024 I decided to share A surprising vintage find, the story of how I finished a vintage project into wall decor for our little camp.

Hope you enjoy these links.  Happy March, everyone!
