The Good Life

by Sue Pais

As June days arrive, summer officially begins. Warm temps become the norm. Sunshine is predictable. And, we squeeze in as much daily play as possible.

We seek out laughter, gatherings, and embrace moments of solace all the same. It’s a month of being content, making moments that count, and inviting joy in our lives. We celebrate quiet victory for enduring the past year, and now, we breathe with just a bit more ease.

Fishing poles re-emerge, held by hands of all sizes. Conversations are held that— without accompanying fishing poles— may never take place. Moments happen, tales are told, and memories are made.

On Sunday, June 20, we celebrate the dads in our lives. It’s when we thank them for their strength, wisdom, and guidance. We appreciate their efforts, enjoy their humor, and we appreciate the foundation they’ve provided for us.

In June let’s be intentional with time. Let’s carve into life moments to experience nature. To create opportunities for quality time with those we love. And to celebrate goodness and simplicities that do, indeed, make up the Good Life.
