What are your plans for March Forth? Here are some ideas:
- Finish up those jobs that have been sitting on your "to-do" list for ages
- Pick up trash on your way to check the mail
- Be spontaneous - if you have the urge to do something, don't wait! Do it!
- Take your dog for a walk
- Clean the house (think about Spring Cleaning!)
- Volunteer your time/money
- Do something special for your neighbour
