MARCH 2021

Spring! The calendar says 3 weeks, but these past few weeks have been a bit deceiving… SNOW, SNOW, and more SNOW! The week ahead looks promising though for sunshine and rain! Hopefully, March will bring an early spring and more of the sunshine I so love. The days are becoming longer and I would love to begin to think of outside chores and activities. I always begin thinking about decorating the outdoor patio at this point in time (at least in my mind). One of my favorite spots is the old porch swing. I love to sit on it and watch the world go by. It gives me great peace, and occasionally I’ll grab a nap after a busy day at work. It is my get-a-way for a few needed moments.

As March brings springtime, I hope it also brings you sunshine and hope in the new season. It is only natural to have dreary days mixed in with sunshine, so don’t be discouraged when they creep in. Just try to stay focused. Plan an activity that will bring you joy, and act upon it. Have lunch with a friend, feed the ducks, or take a walk. But whatever you do, loof for that moment or activity that gives you a few minutes of peace, and bask in its warmth. It may be what gets you through the next season.

But no matter where you find yourself as you read this, remember that we at Hospice are here to lend you support along the way. Our upcoming events for the month of March are still postponed because of COVID. I hope I will be able to tell you this will change soon… STAY TUNED…
