“The March wind doth blow and we shall have snow…” goes a poem that always pops into my head when I think of March. We don’t get too much snow around here, but winds are a whole other subject. We actually lost a gazebo one year! It was really a tornado that picked it up and deposited it in the neighbours’ yard, but wind is wind, whether it’s in a straight line or swirling….. I’m obviously not a meteorologist.

Last Sunday was pretty exciting. I was surrounded by a whirlwind of activity created by, what seemed like dozens of 3 year olds! Believe me, there’s nothing like it. It lasted about 2 hours and after surviving my grandson’s birthday party, I had a new respect for being a mom of a 3 year old. God in His infinite wisdom certainly knew what he was doing when he gave babies to the young. It also made me realize more than anything that I am not in my twenties any more…. The cure for getting older is definitely not to have children, because it’s only as we see our children grow and have children of their own that it hits us squarely in the head that a whole bunch of years have gone flying by. When all said and done, I wouldn’t trade those years for anything – even the not so fun ones. Life is the greatest adventure on earth; a combination of Survivor, The Bachelor and Dancing with the Stars. It’s about survival, emotions and definitely lots of fun.

They say that if March comes in like a lion, it will go out like a lamb and vice versa. It was pretty quiet around here on March 1st except for yelling “White Rabbit” before uttering any other words first thing in the morning. Something else I remember from my childhood, a whole eternity ago.

Whether you end the month with a lion or a lamb, depending of course, where you are in the world, I hope you enjoy it to the fullest. Each day comes but once in a lifetime – so enjoy!

Yours truly,
Julie
