February’s Spark of Joy

January has come and gone. February is in full swing, and here are ten things you can choose to do during the month to bring a spark of joy into your life.

Buy some flowers, but only after the 14th – Please don’t make the same mistake I did two days before Valentine’s Day! See my thoughts on the holiday here.

Unfollow draining media – When you let go of FOMO, it feels so good to hit the unsubscribe button.

Make a dessert – Try a new recipe or one of your favorites. It can be as simple as some instant pudding. Treat yourself.

Have a puzzle night – Tuesday night is puzzle night in our house. It is nice to take a break away from the TV and the phone and concentrate on solving visual problems.

Watch “Better Off Dead” – Every month, I like to pick a country and create a theme around it. This month is France. There is a scene in the movie where the mom makes “French” food. It is hilarious!

Tackle a room makeover – Or at least a deep clean.

Do a random act of kindness – I hate that this has to be said, but it is as simple as holding the door for the person behind you.

Visit a library – February is all about libraries! Go, see what’s new and borrow a book!

Make a hot breakfast – Breakfast is my favorite meal, and I love breakfast food. Try having breakfast for supper!

Scout out animal tracks – Be it snow, mud, or dew in the morning, chances are you can find fresh animal tracks where you live.

If none of these ideas tickle your fancy, hopefully, while reading this post, something else sparked. Go, do, and enjoy.
