March Madness

It is the month which strikes fear into my heart. Do you recall my Friday the 13th entry? Well this is sort of like my Friday the 13th, but in a slightly different way. I do not like March because bad things have happened in March.

My house burnt down at 5:20am on Thursday March 24th and I lost my cat and the majority of my belongings. This is the largest problem I have with March. Other bad things have happened as well but none really as disturbing as the fire.

March is one of the bleakest months out of the year. Everything is dead, so I think of death much more frequently. The weather is crummy, cold and wet most of the time it seems. It is dark, the light has not graced us with enough of its time.

Now I know, just as you know, that March really is not a daemon month. It's just that when something bad scars the past, it is hard to forget the time of the year, I am now a bit hyper sensitive to March.

Today is a cold dreary, dark, damp March day. The 24th is approaching and with it a bit of anxiety. I still dislike myself for the fact that I did not take King with me when I left the house that night.

It is supposed to be a happy evening. Some of my sisters are coming to visit, I am excited about this, it should be fun, but I am in a funk and need to find a way out of it.

Here is to a better March. May the sun shine brightly over the next couple of weeks and usher in April with warmth and happiness.
