March is Colorectal Awareness month

The following is from Jeannie Moore from http://www.ccalliance.org/:

OUR Month is here! As you know, March is Colorectal Awareness Month, and there are many activities going on all across the country! Our first Dress in Blue Day is March 6th, and we are so excited that many of you are participating in this program as well as your own activities or health fairs in your communities. We are proud of our volunteers and buddies who take the time to spread awareness and tell their stories as this is how we save lives!

Spring is also right around the corner, and we all know what that means.......BASEBALL! Most of you know my boys are big baseball fans as well as players so I love March as it signals the beginning of the season. I love this quote, "When you're in a slump, it's almost as if you look out at the field and it's one big glove. ~Vance Law Don't we all feel that way at times in our lives - that no matter what we do, it doesn't help us cope any better dealing with our problems? If you're in treatment, you feel as if it's never going to end. If you're waiting for test results, you can hardly feel positive or happy. But, just like players, you have to keep going, keep trying, and you have to know in your heart, things will get better and happier times will await you again.

Spring brings it's message of renewal, rebirth to us all. Warmer days are coming and the darkness of winter begins to lift. Spring always follows winter - always. I hope you all enjoy a beautiful beginning of spring and that you find joy in seeing mother nature wake up from her long winter nap.
The only bad thing about March is the clock springing ahead early and losing an hour of sleep so enjoy your last few days of sleeping in!
