And You Claimed February Is A Slow Month?

by Wendy Goldsmith

To many, the month of February is one of the worst of the year. Depending on where you live, this could easily be the coldest month, forcing you to spend much of your time inside.

On the positive side, there are some exciting events that should help to pass the time during this month. It’s also the shortest month there is, as the 28 days should help to bring an end to February more quickly than with other months.

Here are a few things that should help to make February more interesting if you can’t stand the thought of this month. Keep busy with these, and you’ll enjoy yourself as the time passes.

First off, there are the holidays. There are a few of them, with some having more significance than others. During the second day of the month, there’s Groundhog Day, which obviously holds more novelty than anything else. Regardless, it’s a milestone in some senses as it marks the beginning of the end of winter.

If there’s someone special in your life, Valentine’s day will give you the opportunity to do something fun and romantic with your loved one. Maybe you can even plan a weekend getaway for the two of you, as the holiday falls on a Sunday this year.

Later in the month, you may be fortunate enough to enjoy the day off for President’s Day. Depending on your job, you may get a weekday off, and hopefully you’ll make the most of this.

Now that we’ve covered the annual holidays, let’s take a look at some of the exciting developments in the sports world that are primed to take place during the course of the month. It all starts with the winter Olympic games in Canada, as the best athletes from around the world will convene to compete with one another for two weeks.

There’s also the beginning of the 2010 NASCAR season, as the Daytona 500 marks the beginning of the NASCAR year on February 14th. If you’re a fan of the sport, you’ll surely want to tune into this high profile race.
