And As May Draws To A Close 

Some Random Thoughts

 

It's May 26 and although this month still has days left to experience, it is definitely inching its way towards June.  Each month is comprised of many special days and events which range from obscure to commonly known. 

 

My email inbox has reminded me on more than one occasion that May is American Stroke Month - likely not one of the more widely celebrated in May.  I guess that makes me special in some ways but as Groucho Marx allegedly said in reference to something entirely different:  I refuse to join a club who would have me as a member.  I digress. 

 

It's also the month where Mothers have a special day the second Sunday of the month but hopefully are celebrated more often. 

 

Ditto for nurses who are honored with a day of significance on May 6 where this year the honor reached out to them and others with an embrace which included appropriate distancing but nonetheless was special.  Mind you, this is not just a day but a culmination of a week that ends on day when Florence Nightingale was born.

 

It's also a month where National Smile Day is celebrated on May 31.  And that seems like a good place to end any month or begin any day.

May contains my mother's birthday, and of course Memorial Day reminds me of the classmates and shipmates that have been claimed in service of our country.  I'm fortunate that the list of those I personally knew is short.

Hello Michael, thanks for your comment on my post. It gave me the courage to come back to AR. Last May around my mother's  89 birthday, she had a 2nd stroke. However it was a miracle, she survived and accepted Jesus as her Lord. She is a live...

Hi there, Michael. We have seen some pretty amazing moments in the past few months. Many positive. I hope we all do end the month on an up note. Let's smile the close of May...and smile in the start of June too.

Well here we go, it's now June.  Holidays aside, let's hope it's a better month than the rest of the year has been.
