It's that time of the month

The beginning of every month is an exciting time. We are one month older, a few ounces heavier (or lighter), (hopefully) a little wiser, and (you can fill in the blank------------). 
Start of every month can be an edit, refresh and restart time. We can:
  • archive and possibly delete unpleasant memories, 
  • print happy memories, 
  • restock our fridge and pantry, 
  • clean our living spaces (I mean detail cleaning), 
  • declutter our closet and cabinets (donate, recycle and repurpose all those unused items taking space),
  • send out some cards and notes (in the age of social media, print communication is even more rewarding),
  • review our budget (maybe ask ourselves do I really need to dine out that often or help out amazon's sales every month),
  • weigh ourselves (you can decide what to do after seeing that number on the scale),
  • start a new healthy habit (can be anything from portion control, meditation, taking supplements, washing your face every night, burning a scented candle while reading etc.),
  • schedule family and friend time (some of us might forget to do that if we don't plan it ahead of time),
  • read (our society is in great need of people who read, not just fiction but a variety of books to self-educate).
You can make your own list and personalize it of course. But the monthly assessment of our life is less daunting than every January or after a disaster.
