"The Root of Joy is Gratefulness"

Hello March, nice to see the spring in your step! But excuse me for one moment, where on earth did February go??? If realising a quarter of 2016 has nearly passed wasn't enough, I was shocked into the discovery I've only got 6 weeks left at my job! It really is so important that we cherish everyday, and every person we consider to be a part of it. Days fly by; how many times have you said "how is it Monday again tomorrow?" I don't want to get soppy on you, but I never want to think I could have done more or said more to make somebody feel better, loved or special. I'll be the first to admit that I am terrible at texting; I read a text, register it, reply in my head then forget all about it. BUT I will always say "I love you" on a phone call, write a thoughtful message in a card, be grateful for anything anyone does for me and smile at strangers in the street. So, for February, I'd like to think about Gratitude, not just Love. What could you be more overtly grateful for?

So, February's action points were to: Conquer my Stranger Danger, Cook Actual Food and Finish "Pretty Little Liars".


Conquering Stranger Danger:

Now I won't go into details, but I'm very happy to say I apparently no longer give off a lesbian vibe to all men! I am accepting drinks, phone numbers and dates! I'm only here for a few more months so I am not looking for my next Bubba-Ting, but there is no harm in having some fun, meeting new people and accumulating some stories to tell! I LOVE meeting new people, so if I can do that whilst ticking off my Bucket List of Bristol, I'm in a win-win situation!


Cook actual food:

I'm getting there. I've baked 1 banana bread, shopped at the local grocer and made yoghurt compot for breakfast everyday. What I'm struggling with is weekday dinners; I am STARVING when I get in and really don't fancy an hour of prep, nor do I look forward to a poxy salad or stir-fry! I want quick, and I want tasty. If anyone has any suggestions please hit me up.


Finish "Pretty Little Liars":

By Jesus I did it. I'm up to date, I know who "A" is, I can now sleep at night. Ow wait, what's this? Another series is being released next week!?!!!? That's it, I'm done. I'm more than happy with the way it's ended up to now, to me it's over. 

Right March! Come at me! This month I will:

Get a big ol' chunk of Life Admin ticked off the L-Admin list
Follow the doctors orders and start strengthening my ankle - ease myself back into exercise
Enjoy Bristol for everything it has to offer! I want to do/see at least 3 things I haven't experienced before

Well, March is set to be a very productive and fun-filled month! Let me at em! #teamtrouble
