April
April to me is one of months of Spring. It is a month of sun but mainly rain showers or even at times thunderstorms. You remember the old saying "April showers bring May flowers." Depending on where you live some May flowers have already bloomed and hopefully will continue to bloom. There are some years that Easter would fall during this month, but not thi year for Passover is the only religious day for the month and no other holidays.

The third month of the year and depending where you live in the country it is either snowy or rainy. In the South it is usually damp and rainy and just sort of drab. Where I was raised it is usually snowy and cold. There is St. Patrick's Day and this year at the end of the month was Easter. Other religious days were Palm Sunday and Good Friday. It also had the clock change of Daylight Savings Time.

Oh, the month of February. What to say about it. It is the shortest month of just 28 days unless you go every four years when it is 29 days thanks to leap year. There are holidays like Valentine's Day and St. Patrick's Day. Two days one for love and one for good luck in maybe finding that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

January has come and gone, but this idea for a series just came to me the other day. January the first month of a new year according to the Gregorian calendar that we follow. Happy New Year! This is the month that we all try to do better in all the different aspects of our lives from our health both physical and emotional. We also try to better in our professions and just trying to be better people.

We all made it it is Saturday. This is the sixth day of the week and the real start to the weekend for me. This is the day when most people go to ball games of some sort during whatever season it may be. Spring is usually baseball, Summer could be just about anything, Fall is of course football and winter could be hockey.

What is there to say about the fourth day of the work week known as Thursday. This is the day right before the day everyone looks forward to the future so to speak. This is a day that is quite hard to describe, but I will give it a try.

Wednesday is what people like to call 'Hump Day'. It is the middle of the week and now it seems that everyone is looking for to Friday and the weekend. One must try and enjoy all the days of the week not just the weekends. There is joy to be found in all the days of the week. You just have to try harder on some days.

So, the second day of the work week also known as 'Taco Tuesday' which for some reason to me is now quite an overused expression in society in general. Tuesday is just a day that some are still getting over Monday. It is a day that seems to require a little more attitude to organize whatever people are planning.

What does it mean to think? Thinking is a skill that we learn to do so that we can perform various skills and duties in living our lives. One must think through various aspects of various activities in the act of planning things out from doing mathematical calculations to scientific experiments to writing a book. Thinking is an important skill and one that must be utilized somehow.
Mark GrahamPublished about a month ago in CritiqueWhat about a Monday?
Writing a short series for the days of the week in Critique. Since this is the first day of week being a Monday why doesn't anyone really like this day. It could be that they really liked what they did on the weekend or that maybe there is something that they do not want to do or deal with at work. To me a Monday is a new start and one must look at in this way.

Who is Jesus Christ? He is the risen one. He is the ultimate person who can help anyone. He was born of the Virgin Mary on Christmas. He was crucified and buried and then rose on Easter. He is the one leader for all use if we can only see it for it is the truth.
