One of the most fun aspects of the month of March is enjoying the NCAA Mens Basketball Tournament. Previous posts have discussed our family's tradition of completing tournament brackets, predicting winners throughout the different rounds of games.
Since life seems to get busier every year, I recently had a fleeting moment when I considered not conducting our annual bracket competition. Thankfully, the moment passed, and we're still completing our brackets along with close friends and family.
March Madness always reminds me of Cindy. And as the first few days of the tournament have been especially unpredictable and entertaining, I'm so glad we've continued to keep our tradition alive. I hope everyone is enjoying the madness!!

thoughts of new blessings
shared by VJ Rabuy, her sister
I’m not sure when we started doing it, but when Cindy and I would get a new shirt, or dress, pair of pants, or other article of clothing as a gift, we would wear it to church first, before any other time we would wear it out.
In a way, it was as if we were blessing our new clothing item, being able to dab a little bit of holy water on it when signing the cross. It may have been something we had picked up from our dad.
Either way, it was a nice little ritual that I occasionally continue to practice; and it always reminds me of Cindy.
