The first three months of the year are brutal indeed.
Christmas and New Year parties and activities are over. No more presents to
open, no more fabulous food to gorge on. And those blasted resolutions have
already vaporized and we’re carrying around the telltale remains of the 4th
quarter over eating. And now those credit card bills are due and the utility
bill is on top of the roof because of the winter blast.
So saying goodbye to the first three months of the year is
very easy. GOODBYE and don’t let the door hit you in the butt!!
That’s the bad news. Now the good news is that tomorrow we
begin a new era of bright beginnings with the official start (in my book) of
spring. The days are getting longer, the cold fronts are getting less intense
and the oxygen in the air is in full bloom as the plants wake up to a new
world.
So for the next 2 ½ months (or so) we will be blessed with
warm days and warming nights. The joy of lawn maintenance begins. It becomes
harder and harder to wind down and go to sleep each night as the sunset lingers
up until this 60 year olds bedtime. And this is still good news!
Getting up and going to work, and staying at work, becomes
more of a task. Don’t dare go outside for a break from work during this time of
year or you will come back in with a fever from the aromas. It might cause you
the leave work during the day as you are “feeling ill” and need to go home and
sleep it off “wink wink”. Are you still with me? This is still good news.
So pinch yourself and remember that the first quarter is
over and gone by midnight and the morning will bring a new day. I am not
fooling!
