“In March winter is holding back and spring is pulling forward. Something holds and something pulls inside of us too.”
Jean Hersey
Well, it’s here….March Madness has arrived, whether you are ready or not? March of course is the beginning of spring, the vernal equinox, basketball season, St. Patrick’s Day and all three of my sons birthdays. For me March is a time of celebration. The days get longer, we change our clocks and the countdown to summer begins.
It turns out that March is even more than all of that. I did a little research to see what else is March known for and well, you may be as surprised as I was to discover that March is also known for being the National Month of:
National Breast Implant Awareness Month
Asset Management Awareness Month
Endometriosis Awareness Month
Irish-American Heritage Month
Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month
National Caffeine Awareness Month
National Brain Injury Awareness Month
National Celery Month
National Cheerleading Safety Month
National Craft Month
National Credit Education Month
National Flour Month
National Frozen Food Month
National Kidney Month
National Noodle Month
National Nutrition Month
National Peanut Month
National Sauce Month
National Trisomy Awareness Month
National Umbrella Month
National Women’s History Month
National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month
National Music in Our Schools Month
National Professional Social Work Month
Seriously? Who knew? While I do not have anything personal against Asset Management Awareness, Caffeine Awareness, Celery, Crafts, Flour, Frozen Food, Noodles, Peanuts, Sauce or Umbrellas, especially in March…..I must admit that some of these do seem a bit much. Well, I guess March Madness exists for more reason than one! I have a feeling this is going to be a great month for everyone….Happy March!
