I started off this year wanting to follow Brandi’s monthly list of great things that happen throughout the month. Well, January came and went and I didn’t get anything posted. February has not come and gone as well and now its March.
I’ll see if what I can recall from my Flickr 365 stream and hopefully keep better track of things in March.
So here’s a list of things I did/learned/thought about each day of the month.
