In astrology, those born between March 1st and 20th are Pisces. These Fish are spiritual types who feel comfortable in their introspective natures. As passionate, romantic, creative dreamers, they are charitable helpers who “go with the flow.” Those born between March 21st and 31st are Rams of Aries. As the first sign of the zodiac, Arians charge out of the gate with energy, confidence, power, and zeal. As pioneers, Arians are unafraid of the
unknown. For these eternal optimists, no odds are ever considered insurmountable.

If you want functional
decorations, look no
further than the
houseplant.
Some well-placed greenery can not only brighten a space
but also purify the air – and they’re also helpful in creating
a more relaxing, restful ambiance in any room. We know
that spending time in nature is linked to reduced stress
levels and tension itself. What’s more, in a 2008 study,
Dutch researchers found that hospital patients with indoor
plants in their rooms reported lower stress levels than
patients without them. www.huffingtonpost.com

The History of "Danny Boy":
This year marks 103 years since the song "Danny Boy" first weaved its way into Irish folklore. It’s melody could be heard at President Kennedy’s funeral and it also played at the farewell to Elvis Presley. The ballad that has proved irresistible to some of the biggest names in music is a song of love and loss – a lament for those missing home and each other. It is one of the most popular songs in the entire Irish music repertoire, and it has been recorded hundreds of times by artists including Bing Crosby, Mario Lanza, Judy Garland, and Johnny Cash.
Set to the tune of the traditional song "Londonderry Air," the lyrics were actually written by an Englishman, Frederick Weatherly, who apparently never set foot in Ireland. Nevertheless, it became a favorite among Irish recording artists (and drunken revelers on St. Patrick's Day), and gained particular favor among Irish-Americans and Irish-Canadians.
"Danny Boy" Lyrics:
As "Danny Boy" has been recorded literally hundreds of times, multiple versions of the lyrics exist, but the traditional lyrics are as follows: Oh Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling, From glen to glen, and down the mountain side. The summer's gone and all the roses falling 'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide. But come ye back when summer's in the meadow, Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow. For I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow; Oh Danny Boy, oh Danny Boy, I love you so. But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying, And I am dead, as dead I well may be. Ye'll come and find the place where I am lying, And kneel and say an Ave there for me. And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me; And all my grace will warm and sweeter be, For ye shall bend and tell me that you love me; And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me.
