March - A Month of New Beginnings
By Jennifer McClure | March 5, 2008
When you think of March, you probably don’t think of wishing someone happy New Year. But for the ancient Romans, it made sense that the year would begin with spring. So March for some time was the first month in the ancient Roman calendar. Some historians believe even the calendar in Russia began with March 1 as late as the 15th century. So historically and seasonally, this month is one of new beginnings.
Thinking upon this, I began to realize all the new beginnings this month has brought to my own life in recent years.
Four years ago today my husband and I officially commenced our dating relationship. A few years ago yesterday my sister-in-law joined our family. It was also in the month of March that my husband and I moved into our first house and purchased our first car together.
This year, the month continues to live up to its reputation, bringing the start of a new career for my husband and the highly anticipated season of spring. Also, it just so happens that Easter falls in March this year, just days after the first day of spring. What a beautiful picture of new beginnings, bringing hope of new life.
