Did anyone else see January as a very long month? I know I did. There seemed to be lots of everybody’s not so favorite day, Monday! There were 5 in January. Not to worry though, we won’t see 5 Monday’s again until May. 😳
So how did I do on my 2017 goals and resolutions…
One: Lose 20 pounds…. for the month of January… epic fail! It was a tough month, and desserts called my name every time I turned around. Hopefully February will be kinder.
Two: Exercise daily… ahhh, this one wasn’t so bad, although I missed a few days and can’t lift the weights that I wanted to… I did meet my daily step goal the majority of days!
Three: My reading goal of 50-75 books….. Underway, I read five books this month and enjoyed them all. See my previous blog posting for a review of Coal River by Ellen Marie Wiseman.
Four: Get back to writing my blog…. Yay, I am doing it! If anyone has a particular topic they want me to look at and blog about, let me know.
And Five: Remember and practice one of my favorite quotes, Live, Love, Laugh And READ… Hmmmm, , I can’t say that I failed at this, but I didn’t do as good a job as I had hoped. Will work harder in February!
Goodbye January and hello February… let’s hope for a great month for everybody and hopefully not too cold for my northern friends!
As we enter and move through February don’t forget to:
Live, Love, Laugh and by all means READ!

So far my February has consisted of cleaning, and lots of it, since I neglected the entire house while I finished my latest project. And today will be running errands! Feels good to be doing something other than fretting about my manuscript. I’m in the middle of three books–The Thirteenth Tale, The Unkindness of Ravens, and The Goldfinch. Hoping to start All the Light We Cannot See tomorrow, since it’s the next book in my book club and I’m supposed to be halfway through by Feb. 12th~ ack!
Have a great day!!

Sometimes I wake up in the night thinking about one of them, and then I’m confused. Otherwise I’m all right. 🙂
