February. Winter. Cold. Dark. Wet. I am seasonally affected. I need it to be April or May like by tomorrow. Why did we have to have this one extra day!?! Why can’t it have been March 0, 2008? Even THAT would be an improvement to February 29. The only saving grace is that it falls on a Friday.

A couple of years ago, a woman at my office said to me as I was lamenting how far away the weekend seemed to be (it was a Wednesday I believe) “Be careful. You don’t want to wish your life away.” It made me pause and think, yeah, ok it may be Wednesday, my boss may be drunk and about to rip me a new one any minute, but I’m still thankful to be here and have a support group at work. Plus, Wednesdays happen to be a Farmer’s Market day. Always a treat! Now whenever I long for the future to come sooner, I think about what she said to me. I guess it doesn’t matter one way or the other. Time doesn’t speed up or slow down. But at least I sort of stop to remember to appreciate the present. Seriously though… please!! Let this month be over.
