Good morning, Tupelo and beyond! Today is March 9th and it’s the 69th day of the year 2020. It’s also Monday, which means it’s time for our #MondayMotivation quote of the day.

“Ignore the glass ceiling and do your work. If you’re focusing on the glass ceiling, focusing on what you don’t have, focusing on the limitations, then you will be limited.” — Ava DuVernay

Check back each day for a new quote to help get you through your day. Now, onto other news and happenings. What a gorgeous weekend we had! The sunshine and warm temps made it much easier to believe that spring is now just 10 days away! Today is also the first official day of Spring Break, which means traffic was lighter this morning but the lunch line at Chick-fil-a will be longer. Plan accordingly.

If you suffer from seasonal allergies, spring being just 10 days away comes at no surprise to you. Much like me, you’ve probably been sniffling and sneezing for a while now! That’s because the pollen count has been on a steady rise since the end of February and today’s count is even higher than yesterday’s medium-high of 9.2–we’re looking at reaching a medium-high peak of 9.6 before the day is done. Don’t let allergies ruin your day, though! Take your physician-approved allergy meds, change clothes when you come in from spending time outdoors, and keep your windows closed to keep allergens out of your home.

Our Tupelo is super excited that the end of winter is near and we’re celebrating by giving away a family four-pack to the upcoming Road to WrestleMania coming to the BancorpSouth Arena on March 28th! Click the link below to learn how to enter and read the rules for the contest.
