I am scrambling around for cards, gifts and outfits to wear appropriate to the various occasions. Some events even involve pot luck creations and efforts to out-do the delectable fare arriving from a wide range of relatives and guests.
'Tis the season to celebrate--and yes, it's about 6 months until Christmas.
When did we start buying gifts and cards for preschool graduations, kindergarten "advancements" and moves from grade school to middle school? A year doesn't go by without somebody graduating from something. And weddings? I've seen wedding planning efforts last longer than the marriages.
Still, I am glad to celebrate, especially when people publicly declare their love.
It is marvelous to mark these wonderful transitions of life, even if some of them are not as long-lived or as significant to us as we wish they could be.
Brides and grooms and graduates of June, may you always feel the joy-filled hope that these special occasions engender. May the gifts you receive at your parties be friendships worth keeping and memories to treasure.
