Spring Forward

Time can seem to pass very slowly or very quickly.  It all depends on your perspective.

For Private Home Health Care it feels like Daylight Saving Time just began.  Somehow we find ourselves ready to change our clocks again this Sunday.  Where did the time go?

Winter is still with us for a bit longer but this weekend you need to remember to move your clocks ahead one hour just before you go to sleep on Saturday night.

Spring is just around the corner so it’s time for our clocks to spring forward too.  Depending on where you live the new season can feel like it’s coming or still a ways away.

The good news for most is that our phones and digital watches will automatically change.   If you have clocks around the house or are without a cell phone you’ll need to adjust them. 

The idea of daylight savings time actually came about during World War I.  Over the years it spread across the pond to our country.  

After some tweaks in Congress in 1966, 2005 and finally 2007 we landed on our current plan of going back an hour in the fall and moving forward an hour in the spring.  Now we all enjoy more light at this time of year.

If you are a person who does well with more sunlight, you should walk with a little lighter step next week.  You might also start to think about gardens and what flowers to add to gardens.  You might even start some seeds in the house.

Birds in the morning have already started to chirp here in the Northeast which is a sure sign of brighter and warmer days.  

We might not be completely out of the woods for another snow storm but with change in time we can rest assured that it’s only a matter of time if we are patient.

Don’t forget about the time change this Sunday.  You don’t want to be late to church or get togethers!
