"Holding on to anger, resentment and hurt only gives you tense muscles, a headache and a sore jaw from clenching your teeth. Forgiveness gives you back the laughter and the lightness in your life."

Tickets In Hand
In case there might be a person or two on this planet who doesn't yet realize what month it is, let me tell you--it's March.
What is the significance of March? Well, March Madness of course! Rest assured the words "March Madness" would not be part of my vocabulary if I wasn't married to a sports fanatic.
I've always felt like Glen takes the "fan" in fanatic to a whole new level. He's obsessed with sports. Any kind. He would watch them all. If he could.
Hence, the reason he was so excited when his West Coast Tournament Basketball Championships ticket packets arrived in the mail a few weeks ago.
He has been counting down the days until it is time for him to be able to set the cares of the world aside. There are more important things to do.
It's time to sit and watch 4 basketball games every day for a week. That might sound like a lot for some people. Not to my sports nut. He can't think of a thing that would make him happier.
Hour after hour after hour of fans cheering, whistles blowing, buzzers ringing, players running and jumping, balls bouncing and scores changing as he is watching the best-of-the-best playing ball with each other.
Rest assured, while he is watching and cheering and clapping and booing (let's hope there's none of that...!), I'll be in my own special heaven.
My books await...

February Birthday Party
Last Sunday we went to the family birthday dinner party at Mom's. Here are some pictures taken at the gathering. I spent most of the evening resting comfortably on the soft couch.
The birthday people for the month of February are Mark and Thadeus (both not pictured because they didn't drive on down from Yakima for the celebration).
Birthday people pictured are Rachel, Jeff, Rebecca and Maggie. Also pictured are various other family members not celebrating a birthday in February.
Happy birthday to all the February birthday people!!
Side note: Glen and I celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary in February. Happy anniversary to us!!

Quotes of the Week
"Happiness is not the absence of problems, it's the ability to deal with them."
-- Steve Maraboli
"You can be the most beautiful person in the world and everybody sees light and rainbows when they look at you, but if you yourself don't know it, all of that doesn't even matter. Every second that you spend on doubting your worth, every moment that you use to criticize yourself, is a second of your life wasted, is a moment of your life thrown away. It's not like you have forever, so don't waste any of your seconds, don't throw even one of your moments away."
-- C. JoyBell C.
"Dreams are the seeds of change. Nothing ever grows without a seed, and nothing ever changes without a dream."
-- Debby Boone
