I Love...Groundhog Day.

February is the month of love.  We often tag this love as romantic, but I think sometimes you just have to love stuff and that love can awake you and it is magical.  Happy love month!

"Love comforteth like sunshine after rain."

"Watch out for that first step........it's a Doozie!"

I am not sure you and I can be friends if you do not know where that quote is from.  If you haven't watched Groundhog Day with Andie McDowell and Bill Murray, stop what you are doing right now and go watch it.  I mean it.  Right now.

Groundhog day to me isn't just about some rodent that is trying to be a weatherman.  I do love Punxsutawney Phil, don't get me wrong.  In fact, I would love to be in Punxsutawney some day on Groundhog Day to cheer him on, but there is more to just hearing the fabricated prediction of a late or early spring.  I think there is a bit of hope that comes from that prediction and from the whole tradition surrounding it.

I love spring and February 2nd comes around just in time to remind us that winter won't be here forever and that spring will come, it always does!  Sometimes in the dark of January and February we forget that and Phil reminds us!

I always need that reminder.  So thanks Phil!
