February Planner/Journal Set-Up: My Days of Wine & Roses

(Insert a laundry list of swear words here) Can you believe that Saturday is February 1? I realize a lot has happened in the world in the past 27 days but also, where the (more swear words) did January go?

Many of my, dare I say it, ambitious goals for the new year kind of got waylaid by the annual winter cold, the (insert more swear words) amount of snow dumped on us here in the Midwest and a whole lot of worrying about the rest of the country and world as they battled their own severe weather and political turmoil.

But what is the start of a new month but a chance to get back on track, make a fresh start and jump in with  a renewed sense of possibility? So join me as I restart my new year and my goals, plans and journal efforts.

My theme for February is set in the happiness of the icons of Valentine’s Day — roses, flowers, chocolates, wine and lots of red and pink. I know its obvious, corny and a little saccharine sweet but I need a little paper joy this month.

I hope this brightens your day and inspires you to pick your planner back up and start 2025 fresh again!
