March, Even the Name Sounds Grim

I have to admit, I have come to anticipate the month of March with trepidation.  In recent years, March has presented a series of challenges... the loss of a friend, the Covid Pandemic, and last year, a slip on the stairs for my mom leading to multiple surgeries and a year of recovery.  These challenges have impacted my usual optimistic outlook.  

So, today, I'm giving March the side-eye.  What does it have in store this year?  Certainly I'm not trusting today's spring-like weather.  I've seen the snowflake on the weather app for this upcoming week.  

Perhaps returning to regular writing with you, fellow slicers, will encourage me to focus on the small successes and many joys that can refill my cup...

...like seeing the bright, hardy, green leaves of future daffodils poking through the snirt this morning.  

Spring IS just around the corner.
