Joyful June Calendar says: "June 4 ~ Take a photo of something that brings you joy, and share it." So I took this picture to share today. I want you to enjoy the splash of color of these beautiful flowers outside my building, too.

Why am I feeling joyful these June days?

Flowers always make me joyful. My husband plays badgammon but I've never gotten into it. I play Canasta and Rummy cub .
I've never had flowers in my yard until this year. I don't know why, but I felt an urge to fill my beds with flowers. Fingers crossed that they live. The flowers in your photo make me happy, too.
I'm glad your able to gather to celebrate the lives of all of those who have passed in the last year including your friend Sheila. It's hard for me to say goodbye to those I have loved. I hope I will grow to be more like my dad at 94. For him, a funeral is a part of life.
I like the Joyful June calendar this month. It's been a long time since I felt I was able to focus on joy after all the awfulness of the past year.
I am sorry to hear that you lost so many residents over the past year, but pleased that you were all able to gather to remember them and share memories.
Every little bit of opening feels good whether it's sitting outside just to chat, to play games, or to eat. Re-entry feels strange, but with each bit I do I feel more and more comfortable.
I don't think we lost more of our neighbors than usual, since all of us are elderly. I'm 81, and Sheila was 78. But when someone died back in the "olden days" before March 2020, someone on staff would post a photo on an easel in the hallway with information about the funeral service (or celebration of life). With staff working from home for over a year, nothing has been the same. Fifteen people is an average of about one a month. So Deb, for most of us here, like your dad, funerals are simply a normal part of our lives.
