Written for "Blogging Circle of Friends "  Day 3768 - March 3 Prompt: What is your favorite thing about March? I   M A R C H !!Usually, it's a combination of my birthday  and St. Patrick's Day  I am big on celebrating holidays in general. I see them as breaking up the day-to-day activities that can bring you down emotionally. Celebrating a holiday, big or small, can be so uplifting and, at times, distracting enough that it can pull you out of your routine. I love decorating the house throughout the year. This year, my birthday and St. Patrick's Day coincide with Ramadan, so I opted to decorate the house for Ramadan. Last year, I went on a buying frenzy for decorations. We now have pillowcases with moons and stars, Lanterns that light up, an eight-foot moon with colorful stars cascading down from the top, and other little lights on the windows. My favorite decoration is the white box with the word PEACE carved out. I put three little lights inside the box so it glows. We all need a little peace in this life; seeing the word on display is a friendly reminder. I love the magical glow of the twinkling lights, almost like a cozy little beacon calling me back to the comforts of home. And it doesn't hurt that Spring is in the air, as the temperatures in Michigan are jumping up to the fifties, only to plummet back down into the twenties and thirties. |
