May is here again

Ahhh, May, my favorite month. I've said it before and I'll say it again. It's the beginning of everything good. I have a history of momentous events in May. I wonder what this one will bring? It's like a present waiting to be opened...

In a couple weeks Christie and I will be flying to Los Angeles. This will be our final visit, because next time we go, we are staying! The mission for this visit is to find the perfect apartment to share with Andy and Christie. Plus, Christie needs to see her new high school. Fingers crossed that she likes it.

I hope I get all my major plans in place and checked off my list this month. I've been teetering on the edge of overwhelmed lately. I have so many things swimming around in my head. I am afraid I am going to forget to do something.

May will be the month when I hand in my resignation to the boss I've called a witch more than once, and to a company that has underpaid me for more than 6 years. Time to move on and I couldn't be happier.

Maybe, just maybe, warm weather will come, and stay! I feel like I need 3 months of sweltering heat to melt the chill inside of me. I can't remember a winter as harsh or a spring as cold and wet as we've just had. Soon I will be complaining of the heat. You watch.

May is my favorite month

May has typically been a great month for me. Since I was little I've liked May best, mostly because nice weather finally returned and the end of the school year was in sight. The grass turns green and lilacs bloom in May. It's everything new and alive after a long, dingy, dull winter.

For me, May signifies the beginning of something even better. Like summer, free time, growth, adventure. May is the excitement of sitting on the brink of something absolutely grand. Like Christmas Eve, knowing that you have a pile of presents to open tomorrow. Like a first date with someone you're crazy about. Like those few seconds leading up to the orgasm.

In the last decade a lot of wonderful things have happened in my life in the month of May. I met an amazing guy in May 1999 who woke me from a long, dark sleep and opened the window to my soul. In May 2000 I had my first Reiki treatment which was a life-altering experience that set me on the spiritual path I've been on since.

It was May 2005 when I got my current job--I remember how excited I was to get the phone call--I actually screamed. And in May 2006 I told my husband it was over, freeing myself from years of emotional emptiness. I moved into my own place in May 2007 and had a "Life is Good" party where everyone who came had to have a dance on the coffee table with me.

Just a few milestones and fond memories...
