In the United States college basketball is ramping up for March Madness (the playoffs of some college teams). And how appropriate for the month of March because I believe March carries some madness and chaos as her winds are strong (March Winds). She ushers in change of seasons from Winter to Spring and the winds must be strong. Some things must blow away and blow over.

Asking March to be good or to be good to you will depend on the perspective YOU CHOOSE. Yes, perspective is a choice. March met me day one with the passing of my brother. It was a chaotic day and has been for the last three days. Yet, I find sweet spots of peace and I soak them up. Right now is one of those moments on this overcast day. Writing my blogs are calming to me. So, the perspective I have chosen to hold this; I will intentionally be good to me this Month. I will intentionally take care of my mental health and my physical health. I will tell myself notice the sweet spots of joy, laughter, peace, love shown towards me, favor shined upon me, and simply soak it up. When something is soaked and it’s squeezed, what it has absorbed will come out. I will even notice the moments of courage, strength, and resilience. Yes, soak it up.
