50+ community Check-in May 3-6, 2021
Hello lovelies in the 50+ community, it’s Monday again and I wish you all a good week 
I believe there are plenty of reasons to love May. It's the start of summer, flowers are blooming, and you can finally begin entertaining outdoors again.
What do you love about May or what is special for you in May?

May☀️🌷. Always brings Spring to mind and everything awakening after a long winters sleep, at least in my neck of the woods, as we say😁. But it’s good and it’s a time to take a deep breath and enjoy the smells and fresh air and ‘happy to be alive’❤️
@placidPlum3193
I hear you, it feels so good to smell the fresh spring air after a long winter 
@amiablePeace77
Flowers, gardening, and fresh air!
@Nickie2442
Oh yes, time for gardening!
My Birthday 🙂 The sunshine and nature 🥰
@CourageousSummer51
I like to wish you Happy Birthday already now (if you haven't had it yet)
Aw thank you 🙂 that’s really kind. It’s on Tuesday x
Happy belated 🎂🎈🎁
I like May because I live up north and o know that the birds are back and that the cool weather is in its way out
@intuitiveFriend1097
Must be wonderful to see the birds coming back.
@amiablePeace77 What do you love about May or what is special for you in May?
Walking around in shirt sleeves
Warm sunny weather
Trees are putting out leaves
Wild cherry and apple trees are blooming
@soulsings
I remember living in a cold country, nothing felt better than wearing a shirt after having had to wear warm sweaters all winter
Spring always feels like an awakening, like a second chance. It brings hope. ABB
@amiableBlackberry92
Nice, spring brings regrowth.
May in Florida in the US is always hot. We are into our 90+ degree days. It is time for me to get used to getting to bus stops in the heat, before it gets so much hotter and more humid, and get used to just getting out there and dealing with what ever comes along. Our flowers started to bloom about a month an a half ago and most have died off, except for some special kinds that you buy at Lowes or Home Depot for just the hottest summer months. But, we like the flowers we already have. All the yards around here have been being cut for over 2 months and all that is in full swing. It is just time to get used to being hot before it gets super duper hot.
@Amelia2324
I totally relate to what you say, we're in the "warming up" period too atm, soon it will be very hot. Good to have plants which can take the heat.
I see our list, that has the purple for 35+, green for Mindfulness, and black for 50+
I can NEVER see any difference from the dark grey green and the black. I am not color blind and have painted for years with lots of colors. I do not know what is wrong. It is very frustrating and sometimes I just give up trying to even figure it out.
@Amelia2324
At the moment there is an issue with the color code, not your eyes. Hope it will get back to normal soon.
@amiablePeace77
Hi, thank you for kindly letting me know this. very sweet of you
@Amelia2324
You're very welcome.
Another painful day working on letting go of anger for being discriminated against and wrongfully terminated because of my disabilities while off on medical leave. Just trying to put one foot in front of the other.
@bgdave
Sometimes it works best putting one foot in front of the other, hugs. Hope life will soon get easier in some way.
@amiablePeace77, I love that the longest day of the year is in May and the days are so long and warm.
@purpleTree4652
May has truly lovely warm days, not too hot not too cold
