Thanks for writing such a beautiful ode to this, my favorite month, Jan. June is such a lovely month, with lots of possibilities for fun. I had such fun in the summer when I was a kid and teenager, and this month heralded it all. And...it is also my birthday month!

I can only imagine the anticipation you must have felt as a kid, waiting for school to end, summer begin, and of course, YOUR BIRTHDAY! 🥳 It really is a special month as children. The challenge is as adults to feel that same excitement as the month begins.

Happiest of birthdays, Joan! 🎉🧡💕
