It's March, which means that it is almost Spring!! I cannot wait for longer days and more sunshine.  I hope to get back to more (and longer) walks after work. I have a few goals for March 1.

Get some filing done in the office 7. Go on a trip to a city I have never been to before. 8 Book a cruise. 9. Donate money to charity. I am going to count #9 as completed as I donated $50 to the local legal aide organization on Thursday, but it did not process until Friday (March 1st). Happy Monday, Everyone!
