Spring is coming. My head is in the garden. I need to start the leeks and the cabbage family plants indoors. Peas get planted outdoors as soon as the ground is workable. Spring is a time of renewal and growth, both physically and mentally. We itch to get outdoors (more sunlight, hooray!) and projects get planned. Just remember to allow yourself time to finish, and to allow yourself grace if you miss your timeline. Small steps can reap big rewards. On that note, I challenge all of you to make a small change before the next newsletter comes out, something that will benefit your physical and/or mental health. Feel free to share your change with another person, or with me via email. As for me, I am going to work on taking psyllium fiber every day to help lower my cholesterol. I have been very sporadic in my attempts in the past, so now I have you all to report to in the next newsletter. Speaking of sharing, I would love for people to come on Friday, March 3rd at 8:30am for Tea Talk. We will be discussing what sort of programming you want to see here. Historical talks? Foreign cultures? How to’s? Or conversely, do you have a topic or area of expertise that you would like to share with others? Don’t worry, there will be coffee and hot cocoa available as well as tea. I really hope to see you.
