Day 63-90: March, the lost month

As I am sure you are aware, I posted nearly nothing in March. I posted something quite important early in the month; I threw a picture of me and my adorable niece up on day 63 to let you know I was distracted and didn't have much to say. As truthful as I was being, saying I was distracted, that post was a cop out.  I thought about that post, or that lack of a full post for much of the month of March:
  • I thought about saying St. Baldricks was just so awesome and I haven't recovered. (False, while St. B's was awesome, life went on and my hair is quickly returning) 
  • I thought about how I hadn't updated you on February's goals.
  • I thought about how March had already begun and I hadn't announced any goals (or even set any goals for that matter.
  • I thought about saying I'm sorry, and then I talked myself out of that.
  • I thought about how I was just like the New Year Resolutioners, "It's March and I've given up."
  • I thought mostly about failure.
In all honesty, as the month progressed any thought of my blog turned into a self-imposed fear induced paralysis of cognitive ability.

Obviously March wasn't entirely so horrific, but I would be blatantly lying to you if I said, "Ah shoot I was just so busy living life intentionally that I didn't have time to write." March was a pretty decent bike riding, book reading, and ambition planning month. I may not have posted a blog, but lots of thoughts (read: blog fuel) have been brewing in my head. For now, if you'll allow it, I'd like to declare March the lost month. I'm just going to get on with it and no longer allow March to hold me down.

Now that it's April, as soon as I push publish, the lost month is off my shoulders.

A quick follow up on February:

Spiritual
I have a board posted in my closet to use to status goals, but I'm not to "blame" for that success. Candis hung it up there for me one day.

Intellectual
I did not working portion of my home built desk... until this past weekend. (Yeah March!)

Physical
I survived my first organized bike ride! I learned some lessons on how to do that better in the future, and I promptly signed up for two more plus some classes.

Social 
As the theme category for February, Social was a big winner, so big it did spill over into March. I surpassed my goal to raise $2,000 for St. Baldricks by raising $3000! I was the highest individual fundraiser in all of Seattle and I made some great contacts within the organization. I plan to either take over the existing Seattle event, or start my own next year. For those familiar with the event in Chicago, it's a whole new ball game out here in the PNW. Thank you everyone for your love and support!
