DEAR DIARY: Time to re-visit hopes and dreams

>It is hard to believe that it is March already. Today is the 60th day of the year, 305 more to go. Can you believe that? It feels just like yesterday when we were celebrating the beginning of the New Year. Oh and how we are so focused when the year starts.
