Day to Day happenings in my life

March Madness

Use these words in your entry: play, madness, time, mind, pray, slice, dice, and March.

I love the sound of the word March. It reminds me of armies, striding out, their big boots crunching on gravel. March is the first day of Autumn here in Australia. That doesn’t mean that summer will suddenly turn off the heat, but the days are shorter. The plants somehow know the season has changed and begin to breathe a sigh of relief. March reminds me of Mad Hatters and madness. Madness reminds me of a time when mental illness was referred to as madness. We have a lot of ‘madness’ in our family. I often pray for a miracle but I think instead I should pray for understanding but it’s a big ask. One needs to always be aware of sudden changes in mood and to remain calm whilst being berated. Sometimes I take on different roles. Usually I’m just mum, but at other times I play the wise counsellor or just a friend but which ever the way you might choose slice and dice it, the problem never goes away.
