In February I’m always interested in what the groundhog, or woodchuck, called Punxsutawney Phil has to say about the weather. Once a year, he lets us all know if there will be six more weeks of winter. This event, known as Groundhog Day, always reminds me of the movie with the same name. In the movie, Phil Connors, an arrogant egocentric weatherman finds himself in a time loop, repeating the same day over and over again during a hated assignment. Eventually he discovers that he has the choice to act differently, and that changes the pattern of each day. Each day is the same, yet different. However, just making changes doesn't release him from the time loop. It's when his choices include opening his heart to his co-worker, Rita, and to doing good deeds for others, that he escapes - because he is a changed man.
