February Is the Cruelest Month

Every year in February, I'm grateful for one thing: it's short. By February, I feel as if spring is so close, yet still so terribly far away, and my mood is generally at its lowest and darkest point in the whole year. So, every year in March, I'm thankful for one thing: it's not February anymore! Yay!

This past February was a rough one, with our annual family stomach virus hitting right on schedule and killing nearly two full weeks in one blow. Then we had a number of little chaotic, crazy family things going on. All of that led me to write fewer blog posts in a month than I think I ever had, and most of those were linked out to The Second Road in order to fulfill my commitment to them.

But now February is over, March is here and I'm ready to pull myself together with a sigh of relief. I hope to get back to posting here more often and regularly. I have a few exciting things coming up for me this month (because it's blessed March and not hideous February), and I can't wait to share.

Happy March, people!

  1. February does suck. I heard once that the reason "spring break" is in February for so many schools is because February has the highest suicide rate for Univ/College students of every other month.

    I've never liked February either. Hope March treats you better.

  2. For some reason January has always been the-month-that-sucks for me. But February was so hectic this year that I'm glad it's over, too. Anything that gets us closer to spring!

  3. Heading into winter here, but at least the nights are cool enough to sleep. Unfortunately I can't say such wonderful things about Victoria. As much as I want to whinge, I've no right with what's going on there.

    Happy March to you! The days are getting longer and there's nothing quite like daylight to lift spirits.

  4. Actually, IMHO, March is the cruelest month - http://myothermoredepressingblog.blogspot.com/
    This is what March 2 looks like! And, this is after having had almost no snow in December, January and February.

  5. I think I've said before that February is like a month of Mondays

  6. Life sometimes gets in the way no matter what the month. I enjoy all that you write here and elsewhere.
