This Month's Greetings: August 2013




Hello, August 2013! 

Sorry I am a little late on this year's greetings. This is the month for back to school which is my favorite time of the year! This month has no national holiday but I still believe it is a great month. The last full month of summer and freedom. This is a time for starting over and starting new. This is a crafty month! This month is happiness happens month which is a great way to remember to give back and spread smiles all around. August is my Mom's birthday month which is awesome because (guilt) I sometimes forget to celebrate her as an amazing person and loving mother. And of course she deserves so much more! August in the southern Hemisphere is equivalent to February in the Northern Hemisphere. This month is also National Immunization Month so make sure you get the correct medicine injected and update your shot records for school. This month's birthstone is the peridot or onyx which is a really unique shade of lime green! By the way, my mom sells a clothesline for a living and Emerald is this season's color! This month is known as the month for love and strength of character. Let's start this month and school year off the right way...with a little luck. My 6th grade English teacher had a very eccentric personality...well, like most english teachers do. At the beginning of every month, as  a class we would all shout "Rabbit, Rabbit!". I have no idea about the history of the phrase or whether it holds any significance. But who cares? Maybe its mystery is what makes it so original. It is a saying that strangely and indirectly helps me stay optimistic for the whole month. I am now eighteen and I cannot help smiling when I remember to say it at the beginning of each month. 


Simply put: "Rabbit, Rabbit!"
