Dear Journal, March 1st
You probably wondering what happen after the storm hit our town. Throughout the night the rains pour like a forever flowing waterfall. I was wondering if there would be flooding or we would be stuck in our homes forever. However in the early mornings the sun slowly came pouring in our windows. I wondered how Rick slept last night. I’m sure he was worried about the garden. Not knowing if the storm did much damaged on them. Chris was already up and downstairs by the time I got up. I slowly wrapped my robe on me and headed downstairs. I dare not look out the windows. I didn’t want to see what happen outside yet. My mind was still restless of all the noise. No you could say I’m not really afraid but I do get worry easily then most forks here.
Once I was downstairs I made myself a cup of tea. I always love having tea in the morning. It slowly wakes me up with just right amount of warmth as well. Chris and Rick were in the living room. Talking away as they sip their coffee. I came in after my tea was done to see how everyone was going. Rick was telling Chris that the storm didn’t do too much damage on the plants. He was able to go out that night from a little break in the storm to cover the plants well enough that they weren’t get badly damaged. I simply listen as Rick went on about how other people had more damage then we did. I was bit surprise but maybe because of the protection of the trees seem to help us. I still wasn’t sure. Whatever the reason was that kept us from the worse of the storm, I was just happy nothing else bad happen to us.
Once we were done with our drinks, we went out finally to see what really happen. There was branches, leaves and many other items outside. However when I looked at our garden, they were safe. Some how Rick was able to make a special cover that kept the plants from getting rip up. Rick then took the cover off to see how the plants faired and to our surprise they seem to be doing fine. Then Chris and I went over to check on our neighbors but before leaving we took some of our healthy fruits and vegetable over to them. They were very happy and thanked us many times. We told them that it was nothing and they would do the same. It was true. They would do the same for us as we would do for them. Then we took care of some of the branches, leaves and other items covering their lawns. We spent the remaining day helping out our neighbors or giving food to them.
We went back home and took care of ourselves. Rick came in after working hard on the garden and helping other people who needed advice or other help. Rick made some really good tomato soup and we sat down eating it. We talked about how the day was going and then headed to bed. We were all really tired and wondering how the other days would be like. As we all know March brings the rain.

March 17th
Happy St. Patrick’s Day. It has been a wonderful day. Full of great joy and everything in between. Chris, Rick and I celebrate the day with great food. We even watch some many different Irish shows on TV and learn more about St. Patrick’s Day. Sadly we didn’t wear green. O well I guess it not that important. Honestly it was just great to have different food and learn something different. Rick seem to enjoy himself. Same with Chris and I. We spend most of the day outside. Thank goodness there was no more rain or my poor head will be going cabin crazy. Well more like house crazy then cabin crazy but I think you understand were I’m coming from.
We decided to also have a big get together with all our neighbors and friends. We had drinks and food with them. The town was pretty much clean up since our somewhat big storm that came rowing in. Everyone we knew had a lot of damage and it took a long time for them to fix everything. Chris and I even took time off of work to help out. The power was out for a few days as well. It was really bad but somehow we made it through it.
Chris and I then saw a great Irish movie while Rick stay home taking care of the garden. We asked him if he wanted to come but he didn’t seem to mind staying home. I still wondering what was gong on but I guess sometime we will find out the reason he didn’t want to go. Chris and I had a great time through. Then we went to the beach. We haven’t been at the beach in a long time. Chris then asked me about having children. It been a while since he bought it up last. I told him flatly that right now was not the best time. He drop the subject and hasn’t as me since then. I might seem rude about it but all honestly I think you understand my reason for it. I am still worried we wouldn’t be able to have another one. If we did I wasn’t sure if I could handle unknown problems.
As you may or may not know I had my red eyes coming back again. I had seen the doctors but they still weren’t sure where they were coming from. Chris was also worried about me. This I know was true but in the same way I knew that it will always be a part of me. I never knew why this happen or how it came to be but that how life was about. I decided not to think about this matter since it was a special holiday. We just enjoy our company siting at the beach for a while. Then we headed home.
I sat down reading a very interesting saying. The saying read like this:
"Dance
as if no one were watching,
Sing
as if no one were listening,
And Live
Everyday
as if it were your last."
An Irish Proverb
It was an interesting saying. A saying that stay with me for a long time. I never forgot about it. Since it means a lot to me. Then after reading the newspaper for a while we went to bed.
