A very long time ago when I was leaving home and running as far away from my family as I could possibly run, someone, when I told her “I don’t need them!” said, “That might be true, but they need you.”

And so if you get up every morning and put a frown on your face, you’re sad, but you also make everyone else miserable so what if your sole purpose in life is to a) be happy and b) spread joy. Okay, I’ll sign up.

Today – May 1 – marks the beginning of May and at the beginning of May we

ta da

hang in there with me, because I’ve just decided this

every beginning of May we dance and we dance every day of May. I started with Valerie by Amy Winehouse this morning, which is appropriate for the first day because once you’ve danced to Valerie, you are ready to dance. But then later in the day, wanted to see Vanessa and so I stopped on the way to the vet where I was picking up the dogs and went to Ingrid Lucia’s Backyard Bash.

First there was Vanessa, channeling Angelina Jolie with some sumptuous red lips alongside Handsome Dave:

Ingrid’s yard was so down home homey I just wanted to move in, and the hen was really helping the groove:

But it was the mule and Gal’s voice that made me think that May had begun in earnest, the celebration of life deserves a soundtrack and I can think of no sweeter sound that her singing, “Let the Mystery Be.”

May has sprung and stolen moments moving to music amongst farm animals is where I want to be.
