I’ve been going full steam ahead this month, as May is the most busy and event-filled month of my year. Or so it seems. I’m here to tell you have I nothing to tell you. My days are filled with the day job, my evenings filled with things like melting wax, pressing bottle caps, and printing price tags. That’s about it.
Every weekend of this month has something going on. First there was Husby’s birthday, and then Mother’s Day, both celebrating wonderful people in my life. This coming weekend is my first show of the year and the weekend after that is Memorial Day weekend, when I’ll be going to the family cottage (as will the majority of my family) for some hard labor and rest and relaxation.
There is a graduation party in the near future as my nephew Fojo has successfully completed all of the requirements for a high school diploma. Yay! Then my mom will be celebrating her birthday and there will be more craft shows. By that time it will be July.
Everyone always has something going on the weekend of the 4th, no? I might make another trip to the family cottage where it’s possible we’ll celebrate my nephew Paenney’s twenty-first birthday. Twenty-one! The years are moving more swiftly than ever, and the months even swifter. Another craft show, some more birthdays, and before I know it the Minnesota State Fair will be upon us. And everyone knows the Minnesota State Fair is the last hurrah of the summer.
They say we should live in the moment. Right now I have an entire summer ahead of me and from what I can tell there will be not one moment that isn’t occupied with something or other. Once May is done, the busiest and craziest month of my year (causing my head to spin in several different directions), perhaps I’ll be able to pause to take a photo or two. Maybe I’ll be able to take my laptop out on the back deck and clearly document what’s going on in the life of my business and of me. I might be able to relish “the moment.”
For now I anticipate and prepare for moments to come…crazily.
