As I looked at the calendar this week I couldn't help notice how there were over-lapping holidays and holy days. For instance I couldn't recall another time, but I'm sure it has happened, where Ash Wednesday and Valentine's Day fell on the same day. For me this created a dilemma as I usually fast for Ash Wednesday, but go out to eat for Valentine's Day. I did resolve this issue by starting my fast early so I can end it a bit early for dinner tonight.
Yet, besides these two days crossing this week is filled with Lincoln's Birthday this past Monday, and Shrove Tuesday and Mardi Gras on Tuesday. Follow this up with Chinese New Year on Friday and we have a full week.
This caused me to look ahead on the calendar and I noted that Easter falls on April first, also known as April Fool's Day. That one made me chuckle. I can't remember that happening before either, but again, I'm sure it has.
Enjoy the week.
