I know this wasn't the point of your essay, but your bit about helping your elderly neighbor touched my soul. My dad had dementia and the kindness of neighbors saved him and my mom many times. What a gift your neighbor has in you!
Beautiful, Elizabeth! I had never considered the vastly different definitions of May Day and Mayday. I love how you juxtaposed them here! “Maybe my becoming is in how I am learning to handle the May Days and maydays, learning how to be more even-keeled no matter what a moment holds.” So good.
Thanks for reading, Mary!! I had been driving and thinking about the day and was blown away by the connection. May we all keep learning and growing through the maydays and May Days!

I love that your dad (and mom) had that! Neighborhood friends are such a gift!! We have been so blessed by our neighbors.
Elizabeth! Thank you for sharing this with us. I'm shouting Mayday!! from over here. I guess we all need grace <3
So much grace!! He is our portion. That portion size changes based on what we need!
We joined the minivan club with our third as well and love it :) Sounds like a lovely community you have around you too!
That third kid puts us over the car edge 😂 and my community is wonderful! It's such a gift to pour into and be poured into by community.

You have incredible friends! Wow! What a blessing. I love hearing how loved on you are in the midst of the mayday's.
I definitely was terrified to drive our minivan when we bought it. My parents weren't too confident in my skills either 🤣
I really do! I'm so blessed!
Yeah, I'm still learning how to parallel park it well. It's just so wide! I often remind myself to "swing those hips" 😂
Lol 😆. That is a way to sell a minivan!
