Now whatever T.S. Eliot may have to say on the subject, if you ask me, February is the cruelest month. With winter dragging on and spring still all too far off, with the days still too short and dark and with that horrid beast, Valentine's Day, sitting smack at the center, February gets to me every year. February is the month when the world is darkest: just before dawn.
Of course, there are some good things about February (other than it's mercifully shorter than other months) and this year, one of my favorites was (drumroll, please): you all were here to share it with me. So, here's my big thank you all for being here and (as always) a little linky love. You all made February brighter.

February is brutal and I'm glad it's gone!
Congrats to all the people who visited! Bloggy friends are the best!
Ah … how cool! I luv t-shirts and black ones go with everything ;--)
I admire the heck out of you doing this every month. Seems like I get around to it every other month so I do two months at a time ... so you’re putting me to shame here girl!!! I do love that you post these links … and I try to visit as many bloggers as possible, but I also give myself permission to rest when necessary. Thanks for the thanks!!!
Hugs and blessings,
Thank you so much for the link. I don't know how you find the time...
You're welcome--and even more thanks to you.
Thanks for the shout out. I notice you mentioned in your more recent post about not replying to comments... I consider this one big reply to a month's comments!
I want to love February, because I love fall/winter, and it's the last of those seasons, but February is when my brother died so I am always rather miserable...it's a conundrum. I feel for you with the February blahs! Since I'm only getting around to this in March, I would like to wish you a happy good-bye February and happy March/spring! And since my birthday is also in March, it is a good month indeed!
