The Month of March

March is a month with thirty-one days and no official holidays.  What else is this month all about?

You’ll be happy to know that two flowers represent this month.  They are daffodils and jonquils.  Both harbingers of Spring.

The birthstone for March is aquamarine, a delightful and pretty blue-green color.

For Zodiac signs it is Pisces and Aries.  

Pisces is a water sign and known for empathy, creativity and generosity.  

Aries traits come from the moon and are bold, optimistic, intelligent and creative.

Next up is the “Ides of March” or March 15.  This is a great day if it’s your birthday.  Unfortunately back in Roman times however, it was a sad day for Julius Caesar since it is the day he was attacked and killed.

On a happier note, March is when you and I celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.  A fun holiday with leprechauns, four leaf clovers, and rainbows.  We are all Irish on St. Patrick’s Day.

For all you basketball fans, March brings us March Madness in college basketball.  Exciting times for top teams that bring people together.

Finally, you and I both hope that the expression, “If March comes in like a lion, it will go out like a lamb” comes true because warmer weather is hopefully not too far away. 

Private Home Health Care is entering the month of March with a hopeful and positive attitude.  We here in the Northeast may not be out of stormy weather but we also look forward to a new season just around the corner.
