Now that St. Patrick’s Day, aka green Halloween, is over I am looking forward to the first day of spring. Thank goodness I do not have too long to wait. Now, sustaining spring-like weather is another story.
I think we have all paid our winter dues this year, whether you live in Minnesota, New York, or Arizona. We’ve all had weird weather. It’s the story of the year, and you’re wrong if you think your location is unique because you went through three seasons in one day. As Americans, we need to unite in bidding a less than fond farewell to the dark, cold days of the calendar. It is time for renewal, growth, and cleansing.
I will celebrate by going to the dentist. I guess that’s better than nothing, right? Afterall, I’ve had to reschedule and reschedule, so I’d better get it in when I can. I think I had better add a different kind of commemoration to March 20th, for good luck measure. I’ve waited a long time for this, so I’ll make it count.
Don’t jinx things though. Cold weather will surely follow. It always has a way of sneaking back up when we least expect it, when we think the bleary days are over. Accept the days for what they’re worth and know that by the calendar definition, spring is on the way.
