Special Days Celebrated on March 12th

I once wrote a speech about March 12th and why it’s a cool day. Here are 5 reasons to celebrate this day.

March 12 is my birthday. Today I am 49 years old. Below are some reasons March 12 is a special day.

•  My Birthday – Born in the Queen of Angels hospital in Anaheim, CA. (At least I think it was Anaheim.) I was 3 months premature and in an incubator for quite a while. Because of that, You Are the Air I Breathe is a meaningful song to me.
• Alfred Hitchcock Day – I’m not into scary movies much. Just the music from the shower scene in Psycho sends massive chills up and down my spine. The Birds and The Blob also freak me. Just think what I’d do with a modern-day thriller. There’d be lots of screaming!
• Plant a Flower Day – Cool! I did just that today. I’ve got dirt under my fingernails and I’m proud of it. About 2 months ago a part of my red blossomed geranium plant broke off. I stuck it in water and basically ignored it. The other day I noticed it grew a slew of roots. So today I planted it in one of the pots in my enclosed front yard.
• First Library Opened –I LOVE reading and I love libraries. If ever I got stranded on an island with a library or two, I wouldn’t be sad for the first 30 years or so.  🙂
• Girl Scout Day (Girl Scouts founded in 1912) –  As a former Girl Scout and Daisy leader, I am quite proud to share my bd with the scouts. I still have my sash of badges. I love it when K, my niece, asks me to work on a badge with her.

Thanks for sharing my special day with me. When it’s your day, tell us some fun facts too.

 This yeas I am going to celebrate my birthday at Easter (more time). Then I will make up some new year resolutions. Do any of you also make resolutions on your birthday?
