and celebrate just living!

It's THURSDAY!  

THE IDES OF MARCH

History buffs and literature lovers are aware that today, March 15th, is known as The Ides of March. Today is famous as the day Julius 

Caesar was killed in 44 B.C., an event dramatically immortalized by William Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar where Caesar is told the prophecy to Beware the Ides of March.

Until 44 B.C., the Ides of March was just a fancy way of saying March 15th.  Ides simply meant the appearance of the full moon, and was marked mid-month in the ancient Roman calendar, which was the fifteenth day of Marcy 

One way to celebrate today might be to have a toga party or eat a Caesar salad.  You could even learn some fascinating facts about the Romans.  

It's a good day to BEWARE.  Be aware and Be careful on March 15th

Be careful of your thoughts, they may become words at any moment.

NEWS FROM HOME

March 15th has been a red letter date on my calendar for years.  It's the day that my body starts awakening from the long winter's hibernation mode that it's been in.

 

With the coming of the longer days of daylight and more and more sunshine.  I'm waking up and feeling more energetic and wanting to do more things.  It happens every year at this particular time for me.  

So on March 15th I am more awaking than I am bewaring.  

A little thunder boomer woke me up early this morning.  I sounds like it is going to be a rainy day here at my house

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

Always watch where you are going.  

Otherwise, you may step on a piece of the Forest 

that was left out by mistake.

COUNTING THE DAYS

The future lies before you, like paths of pure white snow.  Be careful how you tread it, for every step will show.
