Suddenly Its February

Picture
February is here.  Tata January.  If you were going to start the New Year right, February is your 2nd chance.  

I kinda like February.  Shortest month, it deserves some respect.  Also in the northern hemisphere, it is the last full month of winter.  (March's first three weeks are still winter, but trying I am to be positive).   

​So here's to February.  I am motivated to make the month of Ground Hogs, Valentines and Past Presidents a good one.  If one plays their cards right, each day can be a sort of do-over in case one didn't get it right the first time.  That's February.  A time to follow through on the promises of a New Year that hasn't quite yet lost its innocence.
Some interesting things about February

Violets signify watchfulness, loyalty, and faithfulness.
Give a violet to someone to let them know you’ll always be there for them. Violets signify watchfulness, loyalty, and faithfulness.



Middle English feverer, from Old French feverier, based on Latin februarius, from februa, the name of a purification feast held in this month. The spelling change in the 15th century was due to association with the Latin word.

The word February comes from the Roman festival of purification called Februawhere people were ritually washed. There is a Roman god called Februus, but he is named after the festival, not the other way around.



​February's birthstone is the 
amethyst. It symbolizes piety, humility, spiritual wisdom, and sincerity.[12]

I always felt special being a February baby. My cousin Frank was born at the same hospital on the same day...a twin cousin. When I was a teacher it was a fun month with Valentines and Presidents and payday coming 3 days sooner than other months. Since it is so short I take the whole month, not just one day, to have special lunches and treats. Maybe new Birks! I have amethyst jewelry set aside for my granddaughters so they will have a bit of me.....
