39ers Aging with ATTitude ~ March 2026

All By Myself—Not at 39 & Holding!    

(Friday the 13th!) So … here we are … nearly halfway through the month and I’m only now getting (some of) your 39 And Holding article posted. Sigh. I was on the right track, when the Universe threw me off the merry-go-round of life … the horses thought it was funny and trampled me … until I finally remembered they’re not real, got up, flipped ‘em off and here I am.

And now, it’s Friday the 13th … what more could go wrong, right?! Oh, trust me, I wouldn’t tempt fate like that. I actually like this day—it’s always been full of good fortune, or at least, good-natured fun—for me. With that in mind …

Happy UN-Birthday March 39ers! ♪ And many more… ♪ For single 39AHC readers—who like it that way—the Love Month (February) may have felt lonely when you’re all by yourself. In March, however, we’ll remind you that 1) you’re never alone with 39AHC on your side, and 2) I’m not just here to comfort singles. At 39AHC, there’s fun trivia and tidbits for every 39er, to remind you, let your mind wander … and enjoy the moment …

֎ We Celebrate 39ers ~ And More! 
39 and Holding Club is dedicated to all those intrepid souls who have turned 40 years old … and climbing. By this time, we hopefully know a few things about life, love, and the pursuit of happiness. Not necessarily in that order. So, c’mon along as we embrace Aging with ATTitude and enjoy life because of it … or in spite of it … your choice!

Lots of interesting 39er-style days to celebrate this month, not the least of which, is our very own, “39 And Holding Day,” March 22nd, coupled with “As Young As You Feel Day”! We’re listed on this calendar and working on others. But you, dear readers, are the ones it was established for—thanks for being here! The whys and wherefores of the day are here and our March article continues (with as much as is done) where we always start, with …  

MARCH’S 39er Strs of the Sky  
Enjoy a mini-horoscope for us all. No matter our age, a little perceived help never hurts. It’s followed by a few words of encouragement as we UNwrap the month’s UN-Birthday Zodiac signs. Here we go …  

For all of us: The first half of the month we may feel like shapeshifters as we mingle and meander between family, friends, and business, adapting to each as we go. It may be a struggle, however, to feel like we’re making any headway anywhere, until mid-month. Come March 19th we welcome the New Moon to help us move forward with purpose. Aha! We’ll get the point now.  

So, Pisces (Feb 19-March 20), you’ll be dominating March, not only in stargazing vibrancy, but in real-world actuality, as well. Stand tall and walk with determination this month, m’dears. Your energy will be infectious and fun. Keep a firm balance on personal and professional projects for harmonious outcomes and by mid-month you’ll be ready to direct that energy where it’s needed. The New Moon in the latter part of March could see you confident and satisfied.

Get out the cleaning supplies, Aries (March 21-April 19)! By mid-March you may be feeling the need to bring order to your home life and think about sharing your new tidiness efforts with friends and family. Keep the congenial spark glowing throughout the month and feel a fresh, calming spell of relaxation, reflection and quiet strategizing. All-in-all, it’s a soothing month until after the Full Moon (around the 20th) when your core purpose could pick up the pace.

֎ More MARCH Fun for Everyone  
 While I’m still trying to squeeze the rest of this article into my crazy schedule, I have a short start on the month, with the rest coming asap.

March 3rd: By now (sadly, this is posting mid-month), you know the "gilded" magic of the March Full Moon! It was quite a spectacle, coinciding with a full lunar eclipse. Talk about powerful. We’ll all feel its effects throughout the month, until the New Moon (19th) shows up while we may still be nursing hangovers from St. Patrick’s Day.

March 8th: And, of course, we began the second week of the month with Daylight Saving Time. Are you acclimated yet?! It may take a little “time,” but you’ll get the hang of it … right about the time we have to “Fall back” again. Sigh.   

March 17th: Sláinte! Faith ‘n’ Begorrah (btw, the Irish don’t use that phrase), it’s St. Patrick’s Day! In the U.S., from the time I was a kid (with my Irish heritage in tow), we were told if we didn’t wear green today, we would be pinched! And “where” you’re pinched was up to the pinchee!

That’s all I have for now … have a Guinness and listen to the soft strains of Irish music while you wait, MORE coming soon …  

A couple of teasers … you’ll learn about National Crayon Day, World Poetry Day, the First Day of Spring, and our very own 39 And Holding Day! See you soon …

NUTS & BOLTS: And dear readers, I just want you to know that I try my best to create an informative, aesthetically creative article for you each month. However, Blogger is not a professional hosting site—but they’re free through Google. So we’re stuck with their crummy platform that doesn’t work well to manipulate images with writing, especially if you aren’t a techie who knows HTML. Trust me, I’ve tried for years to write articles without gaps between paragraphs and even between sentences. Sigh. Maybe I’ll win the lottery and be able to afford a professional hosting site someday.
