Salutations my dear readers,
I know its been awhile. Posting once a week is a little ridiculous when hardly anything happens that often. Ha! But today is a good day to post. It is Sunday and it is beautiful outside. March is a good month. The sun is coming back out. I missed the sun so much over the past few months. All that cold and darkness really brings me down. But February was pretty awesome for quite a few of my friends. I'll tell you the story.
On February 27th, my friend Daniel proposed to his girlfriend of nearly 2 years. Of course she said yes. So there was the first one. Now to tell this next one I have to go back to the end of January. Andrew and Carmella got on a plane and flew to Europe. The two of them are studying abroad for 3 months. So on February 28th, in Verona, Italy, he proposed to her after dating since high school. I am so extremely happy for both couples. They are meant to be and of course I love a good wedding.
Another wonderful thing that happened in February, a dear friend of mine announced that she and her boyfriend are having a baby. Now for anyone who knows me even a little they know I am baby crazy so this was some of the best news I have gotten since I was told I was going to be a Godmother for one of my other friends.
So I have five amazing friends who have wonderful news and it all happened in February. Makes me want to slightly rethink my disgust with Valentine's Day. Even though none of these things happened on V-Day they happened within a few weeks and I think that is a sign. Anyway, February was fantastic for so many of my friends. It was kind of hard on me, but all the great things they got to experience makes up for most of it.
I won't go into my crappy month. I think that most of the reason it was so bad is because I hate winter and the cold and not having any sunshine is depressing. So this month is going to be better. It has to be better because you can only have so many bad days in a row. After a while something breaks and you start going back up. So here is my new month resolution. Look for the good things. There are days when it seems like the world hates you and nothing is good. What you have to do on those day is close your eyes, take a deep breath, open your eyes, and be reintroduced to the world. Look for the good things. Look for the beauty. Listen for the music of the world. Just live.
Because the world is an amazing thing. And life is glorious. It is scary and confusing, but Lord is it glorious. Remember that dear readers. As Daniel, Carmella, and Andrew know, there are great days. You just have to look for them.
Have a wonderful day readers. Live gloriously!
Maria
