Hip Hip Hooray! May is finally here!

I am so happy to see that May is finally upon us.  It is one of my favorite months of the year, the others being Christmas, because of the holidays, and February, because it’s the month of love.

Why am I so crazy about May? Well, there are a few reasons I jump for joy when this spectacular month comes around.  For one, my birthday falls on May, so that means it’s my birthday month.  And when I say birthday month, I mean I celebrate ALL month long.  I’m not talking about receiving gifts all month long; it’s deeper than that.  Personally, I feel that everyone should celebrate the entire month they were born in, because there are so many significant things to commemorate. For instance, you’re one year wiser, you’ve accumulated one more year of adventures and memories, you have been graced with another glorious year, and now you begin a new year.  There is so much to celebrate and rejoice in.

The month of May will hold a huge place in my heart for another VERY important reason.  On this month many years ago I met my wonderful husband.  As May approaches I am filled with such nostalgia. That day all those years ago was and will always be one of the most incredible days of my life.  Who knew that at 19 years old I would meet my prince charming? In a months time, I met the man of my dreams and fell in love with a fantastic human being.  May will forever be a month full of wonderful and unforgettable moments, memories, and life changing events.

So when my birthday approaches all I can think about is how life is to be celebrated, enjoyed, lived, savored, experienced, and most importantly not taken for granted.

I wish all those May babies a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I wish you a beautiful year filled with such overwhelming love, great laughter, and immense happiness.
