This past first week of May has took off like a rocket, especially those of us here in the Midwest who’ve had a long wait for spring and our beaches to thaw.  I find myself overwhelmed and realizing that I need to slow my pace down and do my best to stay in the present moment.  And usually when I’m experiencing a strong need, others are too, so I’m sharing one of my old favorite songs about spring and staying in the present moment…

These Are Days, (10,000 Maniacs)

These are days

These are days you’ll remember
Never before and never since
I promise
Will the whole world be warm as this
And as you feel it
You’ll know it’s true
That you are blessed and lucky
It’s true that you
Are touched by something
That will grow in you, in you

These are days you’ll remember
When May is rushing over you with desire
To be part of the miracles you see in every hour
You’ll know it’s true that you are blessed and lucky
It’s true that you
Are touched by something
That will grow and bloom in you

These are days

These are the days you might fill with laughter until you break
These days you might feel a shaft of light
Make its way across your face
And when you do you’ll know how it was meant to be
See the signs and know their meaning
It’s true
You’ll know how it was meant to be
Hear the signs and know they’re speaking to you, to you

Happy May Y’All and Don’t Forget to Slow Down and Spring into The Present Moments.
