Sometimes it feels like February is the longest winter month. I know we all start getting a bit antsy for spring this month. And it doesn’t help with days of warmer spring like temperatures teasing. Then, the temperature likely plummets and here comes some cold. This is typically our coldest month. We’ll see what happens. And it always feels like the longest winter month to me as well.
However, we also get sunrises that look like this: 
And there are things to do to keep the February blahs at bay. Though some do take intention.
Fun Things in February:
- Groundhog day! (He didn’t see his shadow, so early Spring. Of course, here it was a sunny day so hopefully all our groundhogs slept through and didn’t see any shadows that way)
- My husband’s birthday (Maybe you have family/friend birthdays to celebrate this month?)
- Galentine’s Day…this is tonight for me. Getting together with girlfriends at the Cheesecake Factory for a fun dinner and exchange of small tokens of friendship.
- Super Bowl Sunday! Go Chiefs! It’s more fun to watch when your team is playing but I still watched many years when neither of the teams wore red.
- Pancake Tuesday. I’m all about holidays involving food!
- Mardi gras
- Valentine’s Day. Just pass me the dark chocolate and we’ll be fine.
- President’s Day, a holiday is a holiday and a day off work for this one!
- Chinese New Year is Saturday, it’s the year of the dragon!
- And of course, there are 29 days in February this year as it’s a Leap Year.
A Fun Photo:
I took this reflection of the sunrise in the window of my husband’s truck this morning. It captured the sunrise colors better than my proper photo. 
What do you plan to celebrate in February?
In February, there are plenty of occasions to celebrate and commemorate, I’ve looked it up: February 10th marks the International Day of the Legume… what shall we eat? February 11th is World Day of the Sick, February 12th is the International Day of Preventing Extremism and Terrorism, the 17th is observed as Kindness Day, the 21st is International Mother Language Day, the 27th is International Polar Bear Day … oh, and our wedding anniversary.
I love you sunrise. Also in the mirror.
Sorry for such a late reply! Thank you for all the extra interesting dates for celebration. Did you know you were getting married on International Polar Bear day? That sounds fun! Hope you’ve had a great week.
Helloooo Beautiful!
