Predictions From Punxsutawney Pennsylvania

A groundhog next to the message Happy Groundhog Day from Punxsutawney PhilEvery mile is two in winter.  ~George Herbert


The infamous rodent of Punxsutawney, PA has once again seen his shadow at this morning’s festivities and predicts six more weeks of winter.

The history of this 131-year-old custom is a great example of actual fake news

But, people hold tightly to traditions and long-held beliefs for a variety of reasons; the scientific facts not being one of them!

Despite Phil’s announcement, I’m predicting ten more weeks of winter. March comes in like a lion and sometimes goes out that way. I don’t feel we’ve seen the last of winter until we’re safely into April. 

In the meantime, stay warm!  🙂

*NEW Post* Promote Your Blog in 2018

I enjoy reading Dr. Perry’s MakeItUltra blog. His goal of “less perfection and more connection” is sound advice for our imperfect and often disconnected world. My blog focuses on self-reflection and how truly knowing oneself can assist in repairing damage from the past and help us live more meaningfully in the present.
