The month of May is one
almost all areas of the world can enjoy. The weather is mild whether you are enjoying
spring in the northern hemisphere, or fall in the southern hemisphere. May Day (the 1st day of May) has
long been celebrated with traditions such as weaving the May Pole, singing,
decorations and gathering family and friends. In fact - May 1st used
to be the first day of summer, with the current summer solstice being
mid-summer. All these years of celebrations may have faded in many areas, but
we still have a joyful feeling as May arrives and brings with it the promise of
summer fruits and vegetables, family fun, and traditions that follow the summer
calendar. As this May comes and goes, may we keep preparedness a part of the
joyful traditions we surround ourselves with. “Being Prepared” will bring more
peace and joy into your heart than any May Day Celebration ever would! Make a
plan for this summer – and let it begin with this May Day!
