This month has been a journey. My health, as usual, hasn’t been the best, and I’ve been constantly craving rest. But I made a lot of small and wonderful memories. I’m finally done with midterms and starting spring break. Now, in the midst of a much-needed rest, I’m looking back on the month and recognizing that there were a lot of little good things.
Every time something makes me happy, I write it down in a little burned-orange-colored notebook. I recently began a monthly tradition of posting everything that I wrote, here, on my blog. Here’s that lovely list for March!
