Brene Brown once said 'Why, when we know that there's no such thing as perfect, do most of us spend an incredible amount of time and energy trying to be everything to everyone? Is it that we really admire perfection? No - the truth is that we are actually drawn to people who are real and down-to-earth. We love authenticity and we know that life is messy and imperfect.'
[The Hankster says] The past is imperfect and like personal failures, we can learn from them. I wish we were always drawn to perfection and that we would always, be ourselves. I have always remember the words from a Ricky Nelson song 'Garden Party' . He was booed off the stage at a Madison Square Garden show (the Garden Party), due to his changed appearance and an emphasis on a new sound for him. The fans wanted the old looking Ricky and the old songs. In that song, which relates this occurrence,
he writes
'But it's all right now, I've learned my lesson well
You see, you can't please everyone, so you've got to please yourself'.
Let us look back at March 31 in the past and judge it to be perfect or imperfect. I bet we will find a little of both.

March is:
March origin (from Wikipedia):
'The name of March comes from Latin Martius, the first month of the earliest
Roman calendar. It was named for Mars, the Roman god of war who was also
regarded as a guardian of agriculture and an ancestor of the Roman people
through his sons Romulus and Remus.
'
March
'is the third month of the year in both the Julian and Gregorian calendars.
It is one of seven months that are 31 days long. In the Northern Hemisphere,
the meteorological beginning of spring occurs on the first day of March.
The March equinox on the 20th or 21st marks the astronomical beginning of
spring in the Northern Hemisphere and the beginning of autumn in the
