thoughts on the news of the day: march forth

hmmm…..

            Several good friends have birthdays today, so I thought it might be fun to see if there were any significant holidays on March 5.  Significant?  I am not sure about this one … but just so you know, today is “Multiple Personality Day”.  I think the web site announcing this might be pulling our leg …. Ya think?

            Some clever holidays are celebrated this month.  Days like: Dentist Day, (tomorrow); National Popcorn Lovers Day (March 8) and March 13, National Ear Muff Day.  There are actually some real holidays in March.  St. Patrick’s Day (March 17) comes to mind; then there is the Jewish holiday of Purim which will be celebrated on March 8 this year.  The Ides of March is on the 15^th and a favorite of my childhood days was Girl Scout Day which occurs on March 12.

            One of my best buddies of my childhood has her birthday today.  It always began what would usually prove to be a great month.  We were selling Girl Scout cookies and then celebrated our accomplishments at a party held close to our Girl Scout’s birthday.  Right around the corner was the day of green.  We always wore it on March 17 … lest we get pinched to death!  The best part of the month would be when Easter came early and crowned the end of March.  I’m talking Easter dresses and Easter hats and Easter baskets --  a virtual second Christmas for my best friend and both our families. 

            And by the way, don’t forget to celebrate March 30 –Take A Walk in the Park Day – you can MARCH onward and into April Fools Day … ha!

            hmmm…..
