Make way for May

Certain times of year I feel more intensely how fast time is flying. The leap into May is always one of those times. 

I’m not sure if it’s because I know summer is coming and will go by in a blink compared to the halcyon summers of childhood that seemed open and endless or if activities ramp up with the return of nice weather and I’m hurtling towards good times ahead. 

I’ve got quite a long task list this month - our first rental at the shore is Memorial Day weekend and there’s a lot to be done before then, in Philly I need to get my flowers planted and bedroom painted, and I have big work stuff going on. 

On the less task oriented side, there are stacks of good books waiting to be read, sunrises to see, dog walks to take, family events, the final three GOT episodes to watch, elections to vote in, pedicures to get, Bruce Springsteen songs to listen to loudly with the windows open, strawberries to eat, a new pop up art event I have tickets to, and so on. Hopefully May also brings the end to dry patches on my face and vitamin D deficiency.

I’ve set my intentions for a good and fulfilling month. I hope yours is the same. Make way for May and everything that comes with it.
