Buh-bye January

First month: gone. Already? Hard to believe.

A lot has happened in one month. A lot will happen next month.

My kids are running around like maniacs downstairs. Someone cries every five minutes. Then, they start laughing again. That’s kind of how life goes. Things happen, we laugh, we cry, and we keep on going. At some point in time we die, but laughing, crying, and going on will continue.

Just like the months.

So, I try not to get caught up in the names of the months or the days of those months. They simply are. Each one is what it is the day that it is, and tomorrow will be no different.

I find that natural simplicity beautiful.
