I am on week 4 of layringitis, but I can finally talk well enough to be understood. Yea! We had a brief couple days of false spring before winter came back. We were so excited to see the first signs of the new season.

My grandson has been putting together lots of Legos sets on cold days and we went to his first Lego store this weekend. I love being around the joy of a new hobby.

Today I am doing some extra cleaning and decluttering to catch up from when I was sick. I think I'll also cook up some veggies to use this week.

It's halfway through lent. If you made a committment, do you need to re-commit today?

Weekly Tips for the Week:

1. Digital Detox Day: Take a day or at least a few hours without your phone or digial device. 
2. Take a Walk: Notice the new season approaching.
3. Do your Seasonal and March planning: https://www.mysimplerlife.com/seasonal-planning-2
4. 20 Papers and Emails a day: If you have fallen behind on papers and emails, try to do 20 extra a day or however many sounds good, but not intimidating for you.
5. Plan Coffee or Get Together with a Friend: Who do you miss? Invite them out or to your home.
6. Cook or Bake Something in Your Pantry: Do you have some cake mix or cornbread muffins or something in your pantry you meant to make but haven't yet. Put it on your menu plan for the week.
7. Create an Analog Basket: If you have a goal of doing more real world things and less online, create a basket for your living room with CDs, puzzles, journals, coloring books, craft projects or any hobby you can easily pick up instead of a device.
