Sentence a Day 02.2025

 

Good morning, good evening, good night, my friends.  Thanks for joining me for Sentence a Day 01.2025 – a long-winded review of the second month in this shiny new year, coming to you in one run-on sentence a day.  Still feeling hopeful about this year.  How ’bout you?

Before We Jump In

 

As I have always said, I write these sentences for me.  As a way of keeping track of what all has happened and when.  I know this is really a lot of gibberish.  A bunch of stuff I really don’t expect anyone to wade through!!  But it helps me to reflect on each day, and record the important things so I can keep them straight, if not in my mind, on ‘paper’ at least.  Would never dream that anyone would read this bunch of hooey word for word!!

Just a reminder:  Once Upon a Time & Happily Ever After occasionally uses affiliate links which are usually italicized.  If you click or make a purchase from an italicized link provided I may receive a very small commission at no cost to you.  Thank you for your support.

Sentence a Day & LMNOP

 

Every month I try very hard to get my SaD post together once the month is over, in order to make the What’s Been on Your Calendar?- WBOYC – link-up with Deb at Deb’s World, Sue who blogs at Women Living Well After 50, Donna from Retirement Reflections and Jo who can be found at And Anyways. The link-up opens on the last Friday of each month and is only open a few days.  So I am not always successful in joining the gals.  Hope to link up this post with for Jennifer’s Thankful Thursday series over at Overflowing with Thankfulness, too.  My OGT after each sentence is ‘one good thing’ – something I am especially thankful for.  Also try to incorporate thoughts and experiences around my WOTY = word of the year into my SaD posts.  And when I have had occasion to get dressed for the day, I like to share a few OOTDs = outfits of the day.  That’s a lot of ABCs and LMNOPs.

Sentence a Day 02.2025

1 Second Each Day

 

Here’s a quick video review of my second month of the year.  It wasn’t half bad!!

 

OOTDs

 

We were in the gym quite a bit this month but I did get dressed in regular clothes a time or two.  Here are some of those regular days outfits.  My favorite combination is a graphic tee, cardi or denim jacket or kimono and jeans.  Wore a version of that a couple of times this month.
