For some people, the start of a new year is the time to reenergize and look ahead with optimism. For others it's the coming of spring.
To me, though, you can't beat the arrival of June.
I once called June "the greatest month of the year," and I stand by that.
Part of it is the weather. I am grateful to live in Northeast Ohio 365 days a year, but when it comes to getting outside and being active, June has the best balance of warm, sunny days without the near-Florida-like humidity that comes along in July and August.
Also, for the first several years of your life, June probably meant summer vacation. You played, you relaxed, and you got yourself ready for the next grade up in school, whatever that may have been.
It is also as good a time as any to address whatever it is in your life that needs addressing. Just as the cold and snow are behind us, so too can be the problems and issues that have weighed on your mind for so long. The calendar has flipped, so your attitude may as well change with it.
Easier said than done, I understand, but you have to start sometime. June 1st is a pretty good candidate.
Happy June, everybody (even to my Southern Hemisphere friends for whom June is more a reminder that winter is on the way...on balance, you still have better weather than we do.)
