Bye Bye February

I am glad february is over, almost over, one more day and then helllloooooooo March!  Why am I glad it's over?  Well, I will tell you why I'm glad...one, it is the hardest month to spell, yes to spell!  You have no idea how many people do not know how to spell february, and to be honest, it always takes me a lil time to remember, I have to think about it, but luckily every year I get to practice:)
Second, I am from NYC, I might have mentioned, but Feb was really the ugliest, coldest, wettest month in the year, just having to walk to school, deal with dirty snow, deal with wind chill being below 0...well, it was a month that was just not fun.  And I guess when something from childhood is built in to your core, built in to your mind and memories, then no matter where you live, it still lives and sticks with you.
Third, and maybe final because I do not like to complain too much :), February seems to be a time where people are more down, struggling, waiting for spring to come, wishing, hoping that spring was here, and the energy, the vibe I always seem to feel is that most people are just not too happy.  And maybe it is just me, maybe I project my mood on everyone else around me, but every time February rolls around, I always feel that the faster it's over, the better it is for everyone.  Maybe if more people got married in the month of Feb it would be more joyful?  Maybe if my birthday fell in February I would be merrier, maybe maybe maybe...but, anyway, it's the last day of February and I am in a good mood, good mood because I slept last night and good mood because tomorrow is march and march will be marching into spring and spring will be springing into summer and summer will be simmering and smothering until we've finally had enough and are ready to fall, fall back into the arms and colors of fall :).  Yes, I am a dork sometimes, take it or leave it :)...maybe it's just February...

         'Bye bye February',
          Says the yellow canary...
         'I want the flowers to color my canvas,
          I want the sun to take me into sin,
          I want the clouds to clear my path to fly
          I want the spirit to open the locked doors,
          I want the darkness to fade into blue,
          And I want to sing, sing more to you...'
