July 29
“To feel the love of people whom we love is a fire that feeds our life. But to feel the affection that comes from those whom we do not know, from those unknown to us, who are watching over our sleep and solitude, over our dangers and our weaknesses — that is something still greater and more beautiful because it widens out the boundaries of our being, and unites all living things.”
– Pablo Neruda, from “Childhood and Poetry”

July 9
July is my birthday month, which is one of the only reasons I like July. Honestly, this month is just too hot for me. July makes me long for September. But since my birthday falls towards the end of the month I have to at least try to enjoy July for what it is. The fact that my daughter’s birthday is in June helps matters a bit because it puts me in a celebratory mood before July even starts.
Seems like almost everyone we know is a summer baby (or close to it). From June to Labor Day we will celebrate my daughter’s birthday, my birthday, my mother in law’s birthday, my dad’s birthday, various friends and cousins birthdays, my father in law’s birthday, my husband’s birthday and the wedding anniversary of both my parents and my in-laws.
Is that a lot of celebrating or what?! Yeah the summer isn’t so bad….if we could just do something about this heat it would be one long party!
I dream of an entire summer of 75 degree days….bliss!
