March
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.

Sunday is the Lord's Day. We must follow him in any way we can. We must try to lean on him when we need to lean on him and learn what he has to give us so that we can live forever in his Kingdom.

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.

Yes, the end of the workweek and the weekend is upon us and the day is Friday. TGIF (Thank God It's Friday) was a phrase famous in the late eighties or so. The first night of the weekend.

What is it about birthdays? Some people love them, some hate them, and some just seem not to care about them. To me when I was younger I really did not really like to be the center of attention and now that I am older I still do not want to be the center of attention at a party for I really wanted was just to be remembered maybe with a special card of sorts. As one gets older birthdays are just like any other day.

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.

Just finished reading a memoir entitled 'Miracles Happen' Mary Kay Ash The Life and Timeless Principles of the Founder of Mary Kay, Inc. I am not into cosmetics, but this book was really fascinating to read even though it is full of the 'tricks of trade' of running a multimillion-dollar corporation. Mary Kay starts out sharing her childhood as most memoirs do, but she made hers fun to read for she shared facts of the times she lived has surviving many ups and downs personally and professionally from her first sales position to being founder of Mary Kay, Inc. Her basic tenets of life and business are as follows: God, family, career and in that order. This is a good supplemental read for subjects in economics and business studies for how to run a company/corporation. Women and men should read this book for Mary Kay shares her valuable ideas on how to run a business.

Anyone out there a babysitter? What does it mean to be a babysitter? Is it just caring for babies, toddlers and young school age children or is it something else entirely? Babysitters must try to remember what it was like for them when they were very young. Babysitting is a fun and creative job that could lead to other professions from nanny to teacher to being a parent.

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.
