Today is April 1, 2011. In an ideal world, we would be smack dab in the beginning of a wonderful Spring after our harsh winter here in New England. Instead, in some cruel twist of irony, we are starting out our month, not with April showers that will bring May flowers. So I wonder what does April snow bring? Mother Nature is sure a jokester!
On the one hand the snow, is actually a really pretty covering and since only crocuses have bloomed thus far, the covering makes everything look neater. On the other hand, it is Spring! C'mon!
Today, my kids had a two hour delay and for some reason only a handful of families at the school received the automated call this morning. So while we were all cozy and enjoying "Yogi Bear," many families were waiting outside of the closed school trying to get in! Finally, the principal informed them about the delay and sent them on their merry way.
At a birthday party this afternoon, we were discussing the communication flub this morning. Then somehow, the conversation transitioned to this happiness project, or rather I told my friends that I have been trying to just be happy this Lent and that it seemed to be working. This was said as one was lamenting that she gave up bread and the other was lamenting about something else given up. I told them that I decided to add to the world this year. To my surprise, my friends - these are friends who did not know that I was doing this project - were excited about my crazy idea. I hope that they find their own ways to increase their happiness. It is really a win-win situation. You feel better and other people want to hang out with you. :) So, I have sent them the link to this blog and hope that they find their way here.
Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra sing this wonderful tune about this kind of weather. Hope it brings a smile to your face too.
