It’s so tempting to blindly follow the calendar to extoll
the virtues of another month … January – New
Year’s Day; February – Valentine’s
Day; March – St. Patrick’s
Day …
Not to slight my Irish heritage, but
I like to shake things up and there are
other important, yet lesser known commemorations in March: First Day of Spring (20th) and Palm Sunday (29th) of course, but let’s not omit …
Yummy! Oreo Cookie Day (6th); 39AHC’s most special As Young as You Feel Day (22nd); and every single-family dwelling resident’s fave (this one’s for you, Ron!), Weed Appreciation Day (28th). *Yes, these are real and “official” celebrated days.
A hundred wishes for your fishes, Pisces, as you swim
out of the picture, leaving green St. Pat’s colors in your wake. The rest of
March (21st thru April 19th) ushers in fiery and
headstrong Aries, ready to conquer
the world.
Do you know that March starts on the same day of the month
as November, every year? It’s true! And since the month’s name was derived from
Mars, the
Roman god of war, it’s no wonder our dear Aries
are so feisty!
What better flower for March than
the flashy yellow daffodil? (Hint: frugal buyers
of March birthday gifts – lots of daffodils grow wild!) A handful of daffodils
will tell your March 39er your love for her / him is unequaled.
Soften a March heart with a pale and
pretty aquamarine
birthstone, one of two gems for the month; or match the Aries passion with the ancient
bloodstone!
And bet you’ll never guess how old Jim Parsons (Big Bang Theory’s quirky Sheldon Cooper)
is on March 24th. (No … older … no, older … give up? OK, look
below!)
Happy
UN-Birthday March 39ers,
(Here’s lookin’ at you, kids – 39AHC Birthday 39ers,
Steven and Jim!)
*Thank
you for the Special Days, Brownielocks!
(Jim is lookin’ pretty good for 42,
huh? That’s what thinking like a 39er does
for ya!)
