so long, April - hello, May!!! my favorite month (December comes in second) it's a month that just sounds like anything is possible: "mother, May i? yes, you certainly May - you know, i just May do that!" you see? all manner of possibilities right there, bursting at the seams!
april was always a busy month for me (lots of birthdays - grandmother, mother, father, boyfriend - also spring and easter) but May was the month when things ended so other things could begin; i suppose it was mostly dictated by school ending and summer vacation beginning - when i was young, i could look forward to going to the beach with friends, riding my horse, pool parties and sleepovers - after leaving home and entering the working world, that cycle ended forever - no more vacations that lasted an entire season, no more lazy days, no more sleeping in (or sleepovers) except maybe on weekends - but i still burned the candle at both ends - working a 40-hour week, play rehearsal after work, sunday brunch with friends... i could squeeze it all in there - these days, although i don't expect to do nearly as much stuff as i used to, i hope to somehow manage to find time to work and play, in addition to doing those things i really must do (bathe, do laundry, clear all the clutter that's holding me back - that's a tough one - create and write) so - here i go again!! i challenge myself (and anyone else) to open a new door into a world of possibility!! let's do it - have a wonderful weekend. teejay
