I don’t know, Jane. There is something weird goin on. I’ve been misty eyed a lot lately. Is it missing good times of old ? Maybe the chaos of the screwed up world. Maybe missing people, pets, simpler time. Survival instincts seem to be full bore right now.

But there is definitely something in the air. I can’t put my finger on it. I guess we’ll just have to wait it out and see.

It is probably all of that. I'm starting to feel a shift since I wrote this earlier in the month. Brighter days are ahead. All in time. I hope you feel better.

Uncanny that we share this blue June anniversary. I hadn't thought to add the end of school year to it. Whatever it is, it's always easier to experience mysterious feelings when you know you're not alone❤️

My son graduated from high school earlier this month and I think that magnified it.

Tomorrow is an anniversary of day I don't want to remember yet it is father's day and start of our vacation. Bitter sweet

Thanks so much for reading and commenting. I appreciate you being here. I really do!

I agree this June feels different somehow and I have also had a sense this June is like a portal. With waves of old grief and release yet it feels like the last wave. It’s like we’re at a threshold and the liminal space is lifting. It’s also been much colder than usual here like summer hasn’t quite arrived yet which fits the general theme as well - feels like we’re close to something new

You described it perfectly! This feeling always take me by surprise though. I feel like I'm moving past it. Although a death anniversary is coming up soon a few actually.

It is a little sad this year for me also. I guess I am getting older because of my birthday that was earlier this month, then there is Father's Day which means I might get a text from my two adult boys. I am still getting used to becoming an orphan after the passing of my mom in May.

I'm so sorry, Paul. It's never easy
