Wisdom, Humor, and Inspiration in March 2025

I really like these Natural Life daily chirps that show up in my email. They are most edifying!

✔✔✔✔✔

I mean, it's a valid point...




Oh, Eve...

(The doctrines of the gospel of my church teach that Eve's act was an essential one, and I believe that myself.)


This doesn't really apply to me personally because I follow the news pretty closely, but it's still funny and relevant 😄



I think I'm a combination of 2 and 6 today...

I try to be uncluttered and organized, inside and out. It's been more challenging over the last few months because a lot has been going on, but I know it's how I live my best life.





This is sad and belongs in a Crazy Times post (which I didn't do this month for the first time in about five years because I didn't have enough to put in it!).

This has been me for the last several years. I've been happy on my own, but I prefer being married to a good man. Marriage can be wonderful when it works between two good people who are right for each other.

Paper over screens and audio ✔ 


Here is wonderful, glorious truth that brings great purpose, meaning, and understanding to my life.


I think more than I speak, especially in larger groups.


This is related to the above. I want to read this book.

Around the House in March (2025)

The table runner I bought in Guatemala in January is perfect on my dining room table! The colors go well with everything, as I knew they would. I love it!




I got a pretty garland of greenery and string of fairy lights from one of my favorite shops on the Cape to go under the TV because it was too bare under there. This fills in the space nicely.


A pretty sunrise viewed from my back porch



Sitting at my desk (my usual spot in the house on any given weekday)

David helped me remove a bush and some other plants from this spot against the Cape house for the mini-splits that were going to be installed the following week. He's so helpful! (And by "helped me," I mean that he did it all while I carried the cut-out parts to the back of the yard for later disposal. 😄)

Speaking of David, all on his own, he made me these beautiful black-and-white lithographs with his 3-D printer of my favorite family picture of me and the boys, and a picture of my favorite type of owl. I put them in the window where the sunlight illuminates them so nicely. These make me happy. He makes me happy!

Olive went back to live with my mom in March because she's old and we're not sure how much longer she has left, and my mom wants to spend Olive's remaining time with her. I've really enjoyed her company over the last several months, and I miss her.

Out and About in March

 Fun things spotted at Target...


Lots of fruity, fun fashion and hair accessories



I almost caved and got this headband, but I successfully resisted adding another headband to my already extensive collection.

I was in the Cape Cod St. Patrick's Day parade for work! It was fun, and it was my first time being in a parade.

P.S. I did get a St. Patrick's headband at Target! 😄

I cropped this picture from February of me and Sam at a semi-frozen lake on Cape Cod. The cropped version is in my March pictures, so here it is!

Every March I try to get a Shamrock Shake from McDonald's. Success!

Playing a game at a friend's birthday dinner.

Out to dinner with a friend, sitting under this cool chandelier with silverware hanging down from it.

At a Single Adult St. Patrick's Day dinner at the church.

With my friend Beth at church. We took a picture because we were dressed alike in black and white that day.
