Welcoming March

Are you ready for March?  It’s certainly hit Europe with a big gust.  I was quite certain I was going to be blown right into German class this morning like a little tumbleweed back in the United States.  Winds have been gusting up to 90 miles an hour (145 km) in some areas south of Berlin.

I am excited for where March will take us.  The snow is disappearing.  Men in blue suits are scooping gravel off the sidewalks by the shovel-full.  Sweepers are going up and down the streets, collecting all the crumbs the snow has been hiding all winter.

And we’re spending the night with boardgames – the perfect way to start a new month and prepare for changes and new seasons.

I am thinking less stuff, fewer commitments that lack heart, and more passion.

Where do you hope March takes you?  Where are you marching on to this month?  The thought of spring is so uplifting.  A cleaned out garage?  Fewer piles of paperwork?  A special birthday cake?  Piles of board games on the kitchen table? What are your ambitions this month?  I love how inspiring the comments on this blog often are.  Thank you for sharing your inspirations and in turn, inspiring so many of us.  So really – what is it?  Where are you marching off to?

Images of Settlers of Catan – the German version.  Guys dig this game (even when a girl *me* somehow manages to beat them Every Single Time.)
