February 28th, 2013. This month will be over in less than two hours, and I think I'm about finished with it. Another Winter month will be behind us, and next week, we'll be turning the clocks ahead for Spring Solstice! It's time to say our good byes to this cold and dreary month.
Aside from some special birthday celebrations, time spent with friends, both new and old, and my awesome Brazilian hair straightening, February was not my favorite month, thus far. I must say, though, that I am glad it came and went without too many memories, or stressful moments.
In this twenty-eight day span, I managed to say good bye to someone who proved not to be a true friend, and encountered another individual who has proven to be a sweet, fun, and enjoyable addition to my life. Its been said, 'If someone brings ya down, they shouldn't be in your life.' I'm paraphrasing, of course, but we've all heard this & it's a simple truth. I'm finally realizing the validity of that statement, and it makes a world of a difference to put it into practice. I rather have a handful of true friends in my life than too many acquaintances.
So, as the month comes to an end, I look back and and am thankful it was not like the February of last year, nor like one prior to that. I'd say that's a good thing. In retrospect, I suppose it was a decent month. I'm slightly wondering what March has in store for me, aside from marathon #8 in 3 weeks and the road trip to DC with Shan. I'm so looking forward to that weekend! However, one rule of thumb I try to keep in mind (and try to live by) :: no expectations, no disappointments. Instead, I try to take one day at a time, so when something special or sweet does come my way, I can be pleasantly surprised.
*Here's to a new month, new experiences, new memories.*
