May is a month that brings with it a sense of joy and anticipation. As the winter chill fades away and the days grow longer, we are reminded of the warmth that life has to offer. As we gather during this month, we feel rejuvenated by nature’s beauty surrounding us, all signs that life continues to flourish.
