Ten Little Celebrations – March 2020
/Every month I write about 10 little celebrations. There is a big celebration as I write this –
Everyone in my family (in Maryland, Missouri and Texas) is well…and taking all the recommended precautions to stay that way.
Now for 9 other celebrations….
Virtual birthdays. There are family birthday’s in March…celebrated with alternatives to gathering in one place!
Dutch chocolate protein powder. It’s always worth celebrating finding something that tastes good (in smoothies) and adds a nutritional punch!
Grocery delivery. As the month progressed there were more people in the store even at the early time…even during senior shopping hours. I was skeptical that I would like grocery delivery, but my first experience late in the month was positive. It’s something to celebrate since we’ll be doing it for at least the next month or more. I am feeling more confident that we are doing everything we can to stay well.
Spice cake muffins with applesauce. The muffins made a chicken dinner into a celebration.
Crocus in the yard near the oak tree and daffodils 4 feet out of the flower bed. Replanted by squirrels? It’s always a celebration to find flowers growing in an unexpected place.
Thundercloud plum in bloom. The week that the plum blooms is always a celebration. It’s usually the first tree blooming in our neighborhood.
Achieving a 1st weight loss goal. Finally – getting the weight I gained over Thanksgiving and Christmas off! I celebrated with dark chocolate and will push forward to get lower…down into the ‘normal’ range for my height.
