Too Late?Written by Rosalyn Bronstein
Too Late?Why is it that we tend to value relationships more once they've ended? Is it simply human nature to take for granted smile of someone close, friendship of a relative, concern of a neighbour? In moment, we think that these people will be around forever. Most of us never stop to imagine all those who have a profound impact on our lives. It's so easy to justify this casual attitude by saying we are too busy, too tired, too involved with work, too concerned about money, and list of excuses goes on and on. So enjoying a friendship may be put off for one day, and then another. Before long, feelings have faded, and there is less incentive to get together. Almost relegated to a chore now, precious moments become something to endure.

Spring is just around corner. Even though there is still snow on ground in many parts of country, here in South our daffodils have already begun to bloom. You too, can enjoy a little bit of spring indoors. Use your green thumb to try planting some seeds in a terrarium or forcing some bulbs. Did you know that shamrock, or three-leafed clover, is a sacred plant in Ireland because it symbolizes rebirth of spring? Check your local nurseries. Many will carry shamrocks on or around St. Patrick’s Day, March 17th. Speaking of St. Patrick’s Day, children love fables of leprechauns. In Celtic folktales, ornery leprechauns were notorious for tricks they used to protect their pots of gold. Here, we’ve included our own concoction, fit for any leprechaun.
