Yesterday we had a nice taste of Spring - it got up to the mid-50's.  I rode my bike outside and it was so nice.  I explored some of the new neighborhoods that are springing up all over the hillsides near where I live - lots of new families and parks being built, and it gets me off the main highways, and it's fun to discover how the roads go through or don't!  

No matter the time of year I find myself getting into a rhythm with my days. I suppose it starts from my sleeping habits - I'm regularly going to bed the same time of the night and getting up around the same time also - without an alarm even.  I find I prefer to workout / exercise in the morning and that really starts my day off on a good foot.  After working out and lunch my days are more varied, depending on what I need to do that day or want to make sure I get done.  Yesterday I spent a great deal of time trying to get my printer to work - connect to the wi-fi, and was unsuccessful, so I hard wired it to my laptop to get the things I needed to print printed.  Today I was lead to the printers website where there was an admin module to try.  I downloaded it, watched the video on what to try, and voila!  My printer now works wirelessly, and it's so great.  I guess I know enough to try things and this time I was lead to the right solution.

Welcome to February, 2023. I wrote a card to someone a few weeks ago and put the date 2022...so that was in January, and still getting used to the new year I guess. But now that it's February, no excuses!  I am busy collecting papers for tax preparations, and it's an interesting time to reflect on how my finances have shifted over the past year. We think things stay pretty much the same from year to year, but when we take the time to reflect back we can see many subtle changes that don't hold a spot in our thoughts, but they are there and it's nice to see sometimes.  I notice the days getting a little bit longer, but so far not much warmer!  It's been good skiing weather, and good for snowshoeing as well.  Nice to have that variety of activity.
