March blew in with all the furry February lacked. Yesterday was full of squealing windy squalls, flooding, and heavy downpours. Today the world has mellowed out a bit, but the wind is still howling as it whips big snowflakes about.

I’ve come to the conclusion that there’s nearly nothing as cozy as curling up in bundles of fuzzy blankets at night and sleeping right by the open window as small, stingingly cold droplets of rain dance on my face. I remember as a little girl sleeping in a delightfully cold room when my sister left the window open, and huddling under thick, woolen patchwork quilts.

Recreating that childhood memory last night (although with different blankets, obviously) reminded me of how crazy thankful I am for my life. It’s wonderful to know that I’m right where God wants me at this moment. Embracing the small moments and finding thankfulness in the little things reminds me of how rich and full my life is.

And speaking of where I am in life, here are my March goals for 2017.

If the Lord wills and I live, then in March of 2017 I will…

1. Blog 20 times
2. Vlog twice
3. Read and Review 4 books – at least 2 non-fiction
4. Send out 15 query letters
5. Plot out the first draft plot for my new book
6. Catch up with all emails (end the month with less than 5 emails in my inbox)
7. Get to bed by 10:30 ten times
8. Go on ten walks

I’d be delighted to hear about y’alls goals for this month!
