February List
February – Self-Kindness & Connection
Plan a solo “at-home date night” once a week – special dinner, favorite movie, nice pajamas.
Send 4 handwritten notes or cards – one each week to friends, family, or neighbors. Not doing this. I am, however, making a point of reaching out to my sister and friends more often.
Try one new creative project – coloring pages, simple sketching, or easy crafts.
I’m not a sketcher or painter, but I did have fun adding mini lamps to each room, though. I was missing my holiday window candles, so when I saw a decorator adding unique small lamps to her home, I jumped on board. I shopped on eBay and Etsy for a few and then found several at TJ Maxx. My house now has a warm glow in every room at night.
Make a “love playlist” – songs that make you feel loved, strong, and hopeful.
Instead of a “love playlist,” I downloaded an old Fleetwood Mac album and enjoyed it again.
Have a theme night – e.g., “Paris at Home”: French music, a croissant, and a travel show about France.
How did the month go,,,
I liked the ides that Chat GPT provided, but my mood for participating wasn’t there. It’s been a stressfull month with slow puppy sales, a pregnancy that didn’t happen, and then the son. I’m saving the ideas for next year and moving forward with March.
Review
Listening - mainly true crime podcasts. I’m not plotting anything, so I can’t explain why they interest me. When I sink to watching Judge Judy, haul me away.
Reading - pure trash and loving it.
Cooking - I haven’t done meal prep in a bit. I’ve been cooking sheet-pan meals with fish and veggies.
Wearing - leggings and sweaters - duh.
Watching - The Pitt and I’m in heaven
Enjoying - counting down the days until spring, it’s so close!
