May is my favorite month. Iris and trees are in bloom. Yards full of sunshine thanks to the dandelions. Hardly any bees though.

2 week vacation with a friend? They plan. You just go along for the ride!

My trip to England years ago was like that. The trips I plan on my own were anxiety producing. The only up side was that moving around didn't leave much time for depression.

In your opinion, what is the blockage to receiving timely psych appointments? I remember one that didn't help. I did have a good therapist and counselor though.

It's sometimes easier to get meds in other countries where pharmacists have more leeway. Psych vacation for mental health?

In response to "Sunshine"

Float in epsom salts in a deep claw tub?

Michigan has beaches galore and lots of water. I tell Floridians and Arizonans that the future is Michigan, a blessed fertile land that doesn't turn to dust, need a/c 6 months of the year, and isn't slowly sinking into the sea.

And you have cherries!

I grew up in the Grey Lakes (not a misspelling). I considered May to be spring. March was mud, April too chill.

I've threatened to move to Eastern Montana for the sunshine; but, moving...

A vacation may be a good idea. When can you get away for a week or two? And where would you go in your dreams? (reality usually means a compromise)

In response to "A new dream"

It's possible to dream at any age and, just as important, it's possible to put those dreams into action.

I need this reminder as I'm older than you and fading... but even faded flowers have a purpose.

In response to "When the past returns"

For others this is the first day of spring; but, for me, it's the first day of a new year. I face similar questions. Will I pick up the shards of a broken life or will I allow archeologists to ponder them centuries from now.

In any case going back isn't an option. The places may still exist and even some people may still be there; but, I've changed.

Good to have you back.

I love being around artists because they inspire me. I often write something at a poetry reading... can't help it. LOL

AIR

Hello my Sunny Friends,

I am reminded that so much of who I am is in the words that I speak. Mostly the words I whisper to myself. I love you, you are good enough!

I am so grateful for my career. I love that I can use my passion for words and that I can twist, spin and redirect the negative I hear in others. Sometimes it is exhausting to see the pain that everyone carries.

I get overwhelmed by the lack of insight and care we take with ourselves. Thousands of sessions under my belt as a therapist. I love it but now I need a break. I have to take some time for myself.

It is ok to whisper what I need. I don't need to yell it. It falls easily down my check. When I drive home after a long day and the only expression I can give is silent tears I know I hit my wall.

I am honest, open and complete. I am air, passion and fantasy. I will lead myself to my greatest love story. It is already written in my heart.

I love you.

May be...

Hello Sunshine,

Oh how I love the month of May.

My favorite flower blooms and I go hunting for them. They are Lilly of the Valleys. Those sweet bells that charm me. I don't know why I love that flower so much but I do. My ex called them weeds. Maybe that made me love them more.

I am a rebel at times. I feel reckless and want to run.

I am not a runner, not now, not ever.

All I can do is dream of a yard full of little white bells!

May be that is all I can do.

Love,
Shells
