Celebrate National Strong Positive Attitude Month!

   March is the first month of Spring, and Spring is the season when the daylight hours start to increase causing temperatures to rise and thereby allowing people to start getting outside more to enjoy the fresh air and the aforementioned sunshine.

   Spring is also, historically and literally, the season of rejuvenation, rebirth, renewal, and all kinds of other "re's", most of which make for a far more pleasant environment to be walking around in.

    Which is why I believe March should be declared "National Strong Positive Attitude Month", - it's the perfect time to revisit our collective ups and downs attitude-wise, and resolve to reinvigorate our collective efforts to emphasize the positive!

   It would contribute greatly to the restoration of our collective positive outlook and restrengthen the overall national good vibe. 

   I know what you're thinking - "Cripes, March is already Women's History Month, Irish-American History Month, National Social Work Month, National Craft Month, National Foreign Language Month (which begs the question, is there a specific foreign language we celebrate or do we just pick a favorite?), National Nutrition Month, Endometriosis Awareness Month, Expanding Girls' Horizons in Science and Engineering Month, and maybe eight or a zillion more (possibly - have not verified either of those numbers).

   As well as National Optimism Month, which is kinda the same thing, isn't it?"

   So why should we declare March "National Strong Positive Attitude Month"?

   Well, for starters, March is known to be a month when people start giving up on their New Year's resolutions, as they're generally not experiencing the results they were hoping for quickly enough (I'm of course referring to the most common resolution of losing weight/getting fit).

   See, if we had a National Strong Positive Attitude Month, we could all benefit from everyone walking around and casually making comments like, "Hey, looking good Harper, keep up the good work," or "Wow Terry, you're getting serious results from that gym membership, way to stick to it!"

   And who amongst us couldn't benefit from a little of that? 

   Also, Dr. Seuss's birthday is today, March 2nd, and he wrote generally happy, uplifting and fun books. Books that were generally conducive to a strong positive attitude, even if your second grade teacher made you read aloud from one of them - heck, the rhyme structure was both fun and easy to speak, so take that Ms Gardner.

   Least I forget, March 20th is also the International Day of Happiness - that's a good day to celebrate, wish I would of thought of that one.

   Of course, since March 26th is Make Up Your Own Holiday Day, I can just make that day the second International Day of Happiness - it's not like we all couldn't use a second day of sharing/shared happiness.

   So yeah, March as National Strong Positive Attitude Month, let's make this a thing.
