Where do you March?

Every time I sit to draft my monthly progress and goals post, there was a calling. An unavoidable interruption per se.  Then, there came a time I was even scared to open this draft. From being titled, “Maniac March” to “Moody March” and now to “Where do you March?”, this post has changed its colors more than chameleon would do in month. Well, I love it all though. Our postponed anniversary celebration from 15 days ago is still being postponed and soon, I guess we will be year more older again.

One of it had to be logged.

I then felt, March probably had its destiny clear and did not want me to plan anything else. Maybe it was also nature’s way of saying I need more rest. All I had was trips to hospitals this month and they will continue to be for few more days. Not all were for me. I have had nights staying for my father in law and then some for me as well. Well, March surprised me. While the doctors are still researching on what is wrong with me, it worries and surprises me at the same time.

I guess, this march did more good than any other month. It gave me PH 3.0. That one hour inside a machine for orbitis and contrast MRI scan made me re-think my life. While doctors are still figuring out what treatment and medicine to give, I need to figure out ‘what next’ ahead as well, the most meaningful way. Once I am back to normal state, I want to live it all THE meaningful way. I still have many questions that I need to think on and I certainly have answers for a few of them.

P. S. My 2.0 happened after pandemic which made live my life to fullest, as many moments as possible.

March of 2023

With a week more left in the March, as it has been so for the first 3 weeks, I would want to continue to have the messy-ness.

March? – A Mess

The highlight of the month was randomness, travels, mess, more mess, unexpected and then being with the flow. I don’t know how I pulled out the first three weeks. It amazes me for the things that I could manage through the first three weeks. The last week is a breather and I am very much in need of that.

I want to make the best use of remaining nine days. Keep it messy and be happy and proud of every moment that passed by. I have found a profound meaning for love and it makes me happy. Isn’t everything about being what we truly are and be fearless every single day?

I will be coming back for April goals. And April is A to Z and Camp NaNoWriMo. Okay, I need plans!

March, Maybe.

Well, My plan of action was to make the most of march, but I ended up being used mostly by march. There were many days that called to go against my plans, no regrets. I have loved my days and I have found my symphony. Can it get any better? Probably not! Here is how my match went. Happily writing out my under-achievement.

Making the Most of March 2022

Yearly resolutions have been my thing, but then, this year, I decided why not bring in the same excitement every month? We are alreading starting the third month of 2022 soon and I am as excited as I would be on the night of December 31. I have loved and cherished January and February and want to keep the march special. I am expecting travels and some really good celebrations. Making the best of what we have is what we got to do and that has been a major life lesson for the past two years or so.

Here is how I want my march to be. The minimum’s to be honest. (I am already excited while I chart out these plans and points)
