Late February: Three Goals Accomplished
As the Ancient Greeks used to say, “The Gods have smiled upon me this moon cycle, giving me abundance in crops and goods and smiles and levity.” Or something. Some of their stuff is difficult to translate/make up. But no, February has been kind to me in 2025. Or have I just been working hard, and February has rewarded my hard work accordingly?
