March 21, 2013 ~ First Day of Spring!

Happy Spring....   That's right, today is Thursday, March 21, 2013 and Spring is officially here.   It takes alot of vision to believe it, but I did see a glimpse in the sunset last night.   Warmer weather is on the horizon, I know it!

I need to take a moment to acknowledge why this day is special to me.
 It's my Mom, Kay Clancy's birthday.  She has been gone for many years but I have to tell you: this is why my slogan is "Keep the Peace!"   It was one of her expressions, so I created it as my slogan because I truly believe that Pilates and CORE Strengthening helps to "Keep the Peace" within you....   But the original expression was from her, and I need to give credit where credit's due.  

So, I believe that, as an adult, you need to take the good with the bad and get over whatever dysfunction was in your life/family.   The good I have received from my mother is:
her strong teaching style,  her enthusiasm, and her toughness to overcome obstacles.   She was also a good cook, and you see it in my shared recipes, but she was smart ~ she allowed me to start cooking in middle school ~ she was no fool!   I guess she taught me to make it work for her, too.  

So, let's take the good with the bad this day in March.   Yes, there is snow :( but it's also short-lived.   

Take a moment to remember the good with bad as we head into Spring....  In the words of Kay Clancy, "Happy Day" when the sunshine warms our faces in the first days of the new season.  

Regards,
