A Sentence A Day~March

I have been writing this type of journal, the one where you write a sentence a day, for almost a year now.  I love thinking about my day and summarizing in one sentence.  It means that I need to leave out certain things, which typically for me is anything that was negative.  I hope that doesn't show up as my life is all cherries and roses, because it certainly isn't.  It is just that the negative can catch up with you and stay a long long time, if you let it.

So here is March!  The month that came in like a lion and out like a lamb.
