While my Cutie’s visit was just me yesterday, I still made the most of my Sunday afternoon. The snow didn’t keep me from going to downtown Greensburg, as it was mostly gone by the time I woke up. I wasn’t able to meet up with friends, but that meant the opportunity was there to brainstorm some ideas for upcoming blog posts. That, and beginning the next chapter in my NPR book.
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade, and that’s exactly what I did. I even turned those ideas into a blog post, which I’m working on this evening and tomorrow morning. As for my drink I ordered the Pistachio Latte, since that seems to be all the rage right now.
Overall, the drink and the afternoon were a 5/5.
Lesson: Your plans may not work out the way you want to, but adjust and make the most of those opportunities nonetheless.
It’s the last week of February, so I’m going to look ahead to what March has to offer in this upcoming blog. From March Madness to speech contests and plenty of great coffee, it’s going to be a great month. With longer days comes the opportunity to take trips to the park and get some outdoor walks in. If the weather is nice, a picnic may also be in the plans. March is a time for new beginnings as we change the clocks and the seasons.
Queer Eye recently wrapped up after an eight year run on Netflix. The final season was released on January 21 with five episodes. The season takes place in Washington DC. I finished the ninth season tonight which took place in Vegas. Thursday night is a series wrap for me watching the show. I’ve enjoyed every season and I’ll post what the best episodes were over the series’ run. At least one recent episode from the later seasons has really resonated with me.
Christmas is two months behind us now as we are in the last week of February. In two weeks, we will Spring ahead and cherish the longer days. I think it’s time to engage in some retail therapy, thus putting my gift cards to good use. My reading list is set for the Spring as I’m set on what I’m going to buy. I’ll either go to B&N or use my Amazon gift card this week. I’m going to begin Where We Keep the Light as we approach Spring and the Jazzmen by the time we reach April.
I proudly voted yes to retain the three Supreme Court justices (Donohue, Dougherty, and Wecht) this past November. Fittingly, I’m saying yes to learning about the three Jazzmen (Satchmo, Duke, and the Count) as well as enriching myself about my Governor’s story. Three Shades of Blue and a book about the First Lady of Song are on my list for the Summer.
Besides reading, I’m also going to look for some more activewear as I keep up my gym routine in 2026. In addition, I want to keep my wardrobe updated and maintain my stylish, chic appearance as well.
As we welcome the month of March and warmer weather to follow, I would like to live up my New Year’s Resolution of finding new interest. But, in order to achieve that goal, I need to learn to practice patience and take time to grow in my journey. It’s like being out of college or at that age and you’re eager to begin at the top. You want that great, high paying job but don’t understand the struggle to get there. I need to learn that everyone starts somewhere, even at 44. Great things take time.
