Our Mayday!

Mayday! Mayday! a distress signal. a sign to others that there's someone in need of rescue. a cry from someone drowning. we are sinking! WE are sinking. this i already knew. we've been flailing our arms furiously keeping our head above waters in the many storms that have come. but bodies tire of fighting the waves. if for one second we let our minds lose focus or our arms rest, we are sinking again. today we are crying mayday!   Perfect timing...it's May. school's end. winter is gone. weather is forbidding. trauma has passed. spring is here and summer is coming. Healing is coming. we cry for a rescue so we can come up to breathe. and then enjoy the gift of life. help us breath today. and laugh. and cry if we need to.  and help us to do this every day of May!
         Today....museum, park, and lunch with mom and grandma.  a perfect MAYDAY!
