Ten things to love about February

Here are my ten things to love about February---because even though its the shortest month it sometimes feels like the longest.

1. One month closer to my birthday :)

2. Days growing longer and warmer

3. Daffodil and crocus buds poking out of the earth and buds on trees

4. Surprise sunshine days when the temp hits 65+

5. Renewed motivation/interest in running (see #2)

6. Last chance winter ski trip

7. Leftover chocolate

8. Newly discovered peach tea

9. Waking up to light and birds chirping (again, see #2)

10. Celebrating six years of love with the hubs

feeling blue

I think it might be february, and this workload, and this graduate school thing, and this weather that is going on, and some sad news I recently received, but I have been feeling a little alone and abandoned in the world lately.


And maybe I am just oversensitive and I should count my blessings, and feel lucky, and embrace happiness and realize that you just can't stop spring, and that such is life and slap a smile on my face......but I just am just in a funk today. rar.

con: february = blues
pro: march starts Sunday

I am going to think about the following to get me through Thursday, Friday, Saturday..........
