March 1

March 1st is one of my favourite days of the year. March is the month where spring begins, though up here in Canada we don't see a true spring until April and sometimes May. But the beginning of March tells you spring is coming. Though many in Canada love Winter for its activities such as skiing/snowboarding, snowshoeing, ice fishing, snowmobiling, etc., the cold, the darkness, as well as the slush and ice can get to us. To me, March is welcome symbol to those who might be in a bad situation, as many are in these times, that you've almost made it. There's a little way to go, but you've almost made it out of the dark cold. May this fact bring inspiration to those down so they may see a positive light on the way. Daylight savings begins this weekend (though almost a month earlier than it used to begin).
